  After effects dynamic infographics/ expressions/ pick whip/repeater

  Hi guys,
  right now I am working on animated inforgraphics. I know that I am going to do around 20 of them with the same animation but only tha values are gonna change.

  So there comes the question. What will be the smartest way to do it. On the picture below you can see that it is a simple chart with two determinant.

  Description I want to achieve that effect that whenever I am setting the number of vertical subdivisions it automatically sets the numbers position and value.
  so basically I want to pickwhip the number position with subdivisions + the value from subdivision should divide the top number from the scale to achieve right scale.

  Based on this example I ve got 18 subdivisions my top number is 18 so I want to have everything from 18 to 0 in the right spot.

  Hope I hear from you!

  Based on your example you have 9 as the bottom value, not 0, which means you’ll need to set both the bottom and the top values.

  A relatively simple approach would be to use several text layers and utilize their index numbers plus those two sliders for start and end value to generate the text and vertical position of the layer. That way you just have to write the expression once and duplicate the layer a number of times.
