DAX code to Filter column 'does not start with' a specific text

Hi,

I am trying to write a measure in DAX with CALCULATE function with a filter for a column - count the rows that does not start with 'SAMPLE'.

Can someone write DAX code here to filter for 'does not start with'

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks.

But this one will remove (Filter) only the one with SAMPLE.

But I have SAMPLE 1, SAMPLE ABC, SAMPLE Country etc.

I want to remove everything that start with SAMPLE.
