AE counting money
I’m trying to create an counter that goes up into the millions with a leading dollar sign and comma separators. Is it possible to do this with one text layer and a bunch of expressions?

Cool
Thanks
How would you go about modifying this to have a keyframed begin and end point?numDecimals = 2;
commas = true;
dollarSign = true;
beginCount = -1999;
endCount = 1999;
dur = 4;t = time - inPoint;
s = linear (t, 0, dur, beginCount, endCount).toFixed(numDecimals);prefix = "";
if (s[0] == "-"){
prefix = "-";
s = s.substr(1);
}
if(dollarSign) prefix += "$";if (commas){
decimals = "";
if (numDecimals > 0){
decimals = s.substr(-(numDecimals + 1));
s = s.substr(0,s.length - (numDecimals + 1));
}
outStr = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);
for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i--){
outStr += "," + s.substr(-i*3,3);
}
prefix + outStr + decimals;
}else{
prefix + s;
}

You mean like with a Slider Control?
Like this:
numDecimals = 2;
commas = true;
dollarSign = true;
dur = 4;
s = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(numDecimals);prefix = "";
if (s[0] == "-"){
prefix = "-";
s = s.substr(1);
}
if(dollarSign) prefix += "$";if (commas){
decimals = "";
if (numDecimals > 0){
decimals = s.substr(-(numDecimals + 1));
s = s.substr(0,s.length - (numDecimals + 1));
}
outStr = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);
for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i--){
outStr += "," + s.substr(-i*3,3);
}
prefix + outStr + decimals;
}else{
prefix + s;
}

Dan that’s awesome!
You’re so great at expressing yourself.
I’ve always marveled at the amazing power of expressions but could never wrap my head around them. If I can’t pick whip it, I’m whipped.Thanks

how do you make it so the money amount actually counts up mine is suck on $1,999

Are you saying it doesn’t count from -1999 to 1999 over 4 seconds?
Which expression are you using?
