@toum  you need a white list and a measure like this

Measure = 
VAR curr =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Column1] )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK (
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( num[alphabets] ),
                FILTER ( num, CONTAINSSTRING ( curr, num[alphabets] ) )
            )
        )
            = TRUE (),
        TRUE (),
        FALSE ()
    )
