Thank you for the thread. Even though I use the modulo trick, I always have to do trial and error because it requires a somewhat unusual way of thinking.
Is there a specific thread on XSI list that discusses it?

Thank Chris.

A couple of threads on XSI List are about using the modulo trick to avoid the repeat node and multiple mention of the trick to generate sequential numbers, but I have not stumble yet on a specific thread about the trick itself. That is why I create this thread.

The closest, is probably the one from Steve Blair on XSI Support.

This trick use the modulo to create the quad description for my bezier patch topology.

You can use this trick to create the polygon description of a grid topology of any U and V size!

Simple, effective and quick! No repeat here!
