The second part of the and statement looks like sql and it appears that the first character of the string should not be a number. M has several techniques to handle this issue. 

 

This one is pretty direct.

not ("0" <= Text.Middle([Tp],0,1) and Text.Middle([Tp],0,1) <= "9")

 

I am including this one because you may want to know how to convert the character to a number in the future

not (48 <= Character.ToNumber(Text.Middle([Tp],0,1)) and Character.ToNumber(Text.Middle([Tp],0,1)) <= 57)
