CSV Data Driven Expressions Overtime
Hi, I’m a bit stuck and need your help clever people.
I’m trying to use an expression to show data from a CSV file.
essentially linking the data values of a graph as text as a line scrolls across the graph.Ideally, I need the individual parameters data changing every frame.
I have imported the CSV and can get this expression to show me the individual parameters if I manually edit the dataValue but I can’t seem to work out how I can get it to pull the different data every frame when I play the timeline.footage(“Dinjector out0001 DATA001.csv”).dataValue([1,1])
I’ve tried linking it to a slider that numbers up each frame but no luck and this is a bit more complicated than my knowledge of expressions currently stretches too.
Any ideas on how to do this would be much appreciated.
thanks

Does putting
timeinto your expression help? That’s how I’d count up each frame.– The Great Szalam

Hi Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to use time but I couldn’t get it to work, possibly just a syntax error but no luck so far.
I also tried to use a slider to control the Column and Row and the Row counting up but again it’s not working, it could be a simple error in my code,
X = thisComp.layer(“Expression”).effect(“Time”)(“Slider”)
Y = thisComp.layer(“Expression”).effect(“Time 2”)(“Slider”)
Value = footage(“Dinjector out0001 DATA001.csv”).dataValue([X,Y])my hunt continues!

If you want a new value each frame, try something like this:
footage("Dinjector out0001 DATA001.csv").dataValue([1, timeToFrames(time)+1])Walter Soyka

That’s exactly what I needed, works great.
Thanks for your help
