You could also use a macro for this. Something like (just type all the
commands):

iValue1<ESC>qqyyp<C-A>q48@q

iValue1<ESC> -> goes to insert mode and types Value1
qq -> starts recording macro in register q
yyp -> copy/paste the Value1 line
<C-A> -> increment the value (1 becomes 2, 2 -> 3 etc)
q -> stop recording the macro
48@q -> play macro q 48 times (since you will already have 2 lines)
