Nice vim demo on youtube, how does the sequenced numbering work? Can vim increment a number without any plugins?

Ya, basically go up, grab number, go down, paste number, increment number, go down, repeat 50 times. Needed for generating xaml that had row and column #s from the csv, interestingly excel could gen the code too relatively quickly.
