The numbers between those numbers are 2, 5, and 8 (assuming UK English,
as you are a neighbour) - thus Chr(65+(x-2)/3).
OTOH, if "between" is to include the end values, then note that
for x = 1 to 9 : document.write Chr(65+(x-1)\3) : Next
-> AAABBBCCC
Note : the reverse of Chr() is Asc(); so 65 can be written more
obviously as Asc("A") .
