Grouping ID in single or multiple categories

Hi All, 

I need help to group ID's which appear in single or multiple categories. 
Attaching an image which has sample dataset and the result expected. 
We can't harder -code the ID's and Categories as the original dataset is dynamic in nature.

 The last column in expected result is not required, its just for explanation purpose. 

 

Thanks

Impacts more than 1 Category = DISTINCTCOUNT( 'DATASET'[ID] ) - [Impacts 1 Category]

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
