I am trying to difrentiate between USA zip codes to Canada Post Codes.
As USA zip codes always start with a digit, and Canada Post code always
start with a letter, what would be the right formula to detect if a
string starts with a digit, or with a letter?

One way:

=IF(ISERROR(LEFT(A1)*1),"Canada","US")
