how to use if statement on a table using django templates

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

Hello team,

I need a little help from you. I am writing a very basic webpage using Django.
I need to show some data in a table view, that works ok. The challenge I have is that I need to show a column “status_ind” which could have 1 or 0 values; but instead of showing up 1 or 0, I want to show Active or Inactive respectively.
Basically, the idea is to use an “If” statements on the HTML template. But I am getting this error when running the app:
TemplateSyntaxError at….
Invalid block tag on line 55 ‘else’, expected ‘empty’ or ‘endofr’. Did you forget to register or load this tag? See image enclosed.

I read the post below but not able to fix the erro

This is the code that I am using:

<table>
          <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>ID Area</th>
                <th>Codigo da Area</th>
                <th>Nome da Area</th>
                <th>Codigo SAP</th>
                <th>Data de criação</th>
                <th>Criado por</th>
                <th>Data de modificação</th>
                <th>Modificado por</th>
                <th>Status</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
         <tbody>
            {% for area in myarea %}
            <tr>
                <td>{{ area.area_id }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.area_code }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.area_name }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.sap_area_cd }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.created_on }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.created_by }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.last_modified_on }}</td>
                <td>{{ area.last_modified_by }}</td>
                <td>
                    { % if area.status_ind == '1' % }
                        Active
                    {% else %}
                        Inactive
                    {% endif %} </td>

            </tr>
            {% endfor %}
         </tbody>
    </table>

I also tried to writing “Active” & “Inactive” between Quotation Marks and single quote but not succsses,

any advice will be really appreciated.

You have spaces between the { and %. This is not allowed, the line needs to be:
{% if area.status_ind == '1' %}
