let $cat := doc("Data.xml")/order
for $model in distinct-values($cat/car/@model)
return  <li>Department: {if ($model = "B")
                        then "Accessories"
                        else if ($model = "C")
                             then "Menswear"
                             else if ($model = "A")
                                  then "Womens"
                                  else ()
               }  ({$model})</li>

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<li>Department: Womens  (A)</li>
