Need help with DAX

I need help to achieve the results shown in the table below.

 

Essentially, in the 'Category' column, if all the values are the same, then return the first value; otherwise, return 'Mix'.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WciwoyEnVBZNKsTowvntRYkFqMUIAzIIIIstBRZDMwJRVio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each let  
_list = List.Distinct( Text.Split([Category],"-")),
_res= if List.Count(_list)=1 then  List.Max(_list) else "Mix"
in 
_res)
