<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM')+1)?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM')?>

"etc.", I guess.

gacon1982, we have a problem: as long as it is relatively simple to match numbers 1, 2, 3 with letters A, B, C, what would you want to do once numbers (and their letter pairs) reach the last letter (Z)? What comes next?

Roman numbers (I, II, III, IV, ... MCMLXVIII) are, whoa, another story. There's no 1:1 relationship, so you'd probably have to work a little bit harder in order to make it work.

I don't use Business Intelligence, but - if you could create a (database? BI?) function, it would be something like this - of course, regarding your statement that only 26 numbers are possible:
0         1         2
01234567890123456789012345
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SQL> create or replace function fun_letter (par_number in number)
  2    return char
  3  is
  4  begin
  5    return (chr(par_number + 65));
  6  end;
  7  /

Function created.

SQL> select fun_letter(8) I, fun_letter(13) N, fun_letter(20) U from dual;

I  N  U
-- -- --
I  N  U

SQL>

Thanks Littlefoot .
But I can not call function from BI , because I have numbers automatically increase from BI . 
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM',0)?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM')+1)?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM')?>

and I must convert the number ('NUM' as 1,2,3..) to character A , B , C ...
Help me please ..

As I said: I don't know BI. But, from what I can tell, it *could* be (but probably is not) something like

<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM',xdoxslt:fun_letter(get_variable($_XDOCTX,'NUM')+1))?>

I am not using BI but I just tried to help you ..
While searching on google I found that you can use "EVALUATE" function for this
Using which one can call the defined functions so that yo can use little foot function I guess

Good luck

Check whether following is helpful for you or not.
xdofx:chr
xdofx:decode
position

I too didn't get before.
After I install latest version, I could see A, B, C for 1, 2, 3.
What is your version?

But I've used position. Anyway you've initialized to zero and increasing by 1.
If you are doing that by row by row, you can use
<?xdofx:chr(64 + position())?>

Some how if we use xdoxslt and xdofx, it is erring out.
