DAX measure to check Name column for Numbers and Special Characters

This has to be a DAX measure since working in a live connection model.

 

How to find and count any rows with a Number or special character in the Name Column. This would be a straight forward ISNONTEXT in a calculated column. Stuck on how to solve as a dax measure. 

 

thanks.

@amitchandak  Simple data quality check on Name field for no numbers and special characters. Count all TRUE in a KPI card. All of this using DAX measures only. thanks

This method will not work. I am using a live connection to SSAS and the data team are not avaiable. I have no access to amend tables or add them. I can only use DAX MEASURES.
