How to count the number of texts in a columns

This must be  a super easy one for someone to answer. 🙂

 

I've got a large column with 100,000 account names. I want to count the number of names that contain "RNAB". I've tried so many DAX options but i always get a syntex error. Please help, this easy ask is driving me crazy... 🙂

try a measure

Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table');ALL('Table');CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[Column];"RNAB"))
