  Aharon, nice walk-through on the odometer-Offset-expression.

  I’m on AE6.5 so I can’t see if your downloadable aep has that Dan expression that snaps the offset when the preceding row hits 10. Do you think you could post that here so I can take a look at it? Curiosity is killing this cat.

  Hi

  I help you out here

  slider = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
  myDigit = Math.floor(slider/1000)%10;
  previous = slider%1000/1000;
  myVal = myDigit + linear(previous,.999,1.0,0,1);
  y = linear(myVal,0,10,1500,0);
  x = value[0];
  [x,y]

  slider = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
  myDigit = Math.floor(slider/100)%10;
  previous = slider%100/100;
  myVal = myDigit + linear(previous,.99,1.0,0,1);
  y = linear(myVal,0,10,1500,0);
  x = value[0];
  [x,y]

  for the 3th. expression change the values accordingly
