Don't worry about the arguments for the function - Power BI should prompt you to complete them.

Now use an IF function to show for each series which category it belongs to using these rules:

Duration	Category
Less than 60 days	Short
Otherwise	Long

Use this to create a pie chart showing the number of series for each category:

You don't have to add so much formatting - the person doing this exercise obviously had too much time on his or her hands!

Save your report as All too long really, then close it down.
