Sum of a column with text containing Avocado but exclude Avocado Bank Holidays

Hi, I have a dataset containing the following list in column 'name':

Avocado Test
Avocado Holidays
Avocado Sick Days
Avocado Admin Days
Avocado Bank Holidays
Test Days
Training Days
Admin Days

 

I want to create a measure that will count the days that begin with Avocado but exclude Avocado Bank Holidays.


I have the following measure but that counts all Avocado days, I want to exclude Avocado Bank Holidays:

Avocado Days = CALCULATE(COUNT('invoices events - Double Jobs'[days]), CONTAINSSTRING( 'invoices companies'[name], "Avocado"))

@MissBI_21 Maybe:

Avocado Days = 
CALCULATE(COUNT('invoices events - Double Jobs'[days]), CONTAINSSTRING( 'invoices companies'[name], "Avocado"), 'invoices companies'[name] <> "Avocado Bank Holidays")
