You can use regex to check for only alphabets or any other patterns you are looking into field(s).

 

For now, you can use the following pattern using regex tool and matching method for your needful:

 

.*[0-9|\W].*

 

This will create a new field with True/False basis criteria.

Another potential regex solution:

 

use a filter:  

 

Regex_countmatches([field],"\d") = 0

 

 that looks for no  numbers
