I watched this video 4 years ago to learn how to do it. I promised myself I will always remember how to do it! I never remember how to do it and always come back to this video.
THANKS!

[@Learnin5]

Thanks for coming back, Lukas!

[@simonwebb7391]

yep why won’t this go into my head!!?

[@rosario9527]

Same! xD

[@dipthehip]

wow me too lol

[@play_north]

I'm exactly the same boat. Done it a million times. Always forget the expression. For anyone else it's: Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))

[@zaxk5331]

Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))

[@RMigrin]

If you want it to automatically add commas:
num = Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
function addCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
}
addCommas(num)

[@LuggageHero]

You sir have a subscriber. I love the delivery of the content. Keep it up 👍🏾

[@labelofficial9332]

If you want it to have 2 decimal points, change the code to:
n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
d = 100;
Math.round(n*d)/d

[@plixplop]

Thanks you just saved me another 20 minutes of searching forums!
And you can change how many decimal places by changing d to 10, 100, 1000 etc. The number of 0s is how many decimal places.

[@MustafaBatu]

You are a life-saver dude. Thanks.

[@TBCCullman]

What if you want it to have a comma when you get to 1,000 and up?

[@adictivedesign]

and if i want a + infront?

subbed,. wonderful tutorial

[@chinaahpek]

Perfect! Short and sweet

[@hvrtado]

Very helpful, thank you!! :)

[@LeoBodelle]

This is great, thanks. How can you control the speed?
For example, I would like to count up dates (1800 to 2018) but it needs to change slowly at the start, then speed up and then slow down again when arriving close to 2018.
A bit like you would use easy ease on motion.
Cheers :)
