    Here’s a pretty basic expression that should do what you need:

    // set end time to comp duration
    beginTime = 1;
    endTime = 10;
    counterStart = 269;
    counterEnd = 130;
    Math.floor(linear(time , beginTime, endTime, counterStart , counterEnd ))

    Just realized that I didn’t mention you would create a text layer(cntl+alt+shift+t), twirl down and add that expression to the source text.
