Does not start with - DAX expression

Hi!  I'm looking for help on how to write a 'does not start with' DAX expression.

 

This is what I have right now, but doesn't seem to work:

Total Sales & Credit Memos = 
CALCULATE( 
        [Total Amount],
        (LEFT('CONSOL GLENTRY'[Document No_], 2) <> "GJ"
)

 

I'm looking to calculate all documents that 'do not' start with "GJ".

 

Any help would be appreciated! 

Christina
