Text layer looking at slider with an addition and keeping to two decimal places
Hi,
I have a text layer looking at a slider control, I want to add 2 to the number that it is looking at. I guess something like this:
thisComp.layer(“% P&L”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)+2
However I want to keep the resulting number to 2 decimal places, I know you can use the following but not sure where to add this into the above expression as keep getting errors?
.value.toFixed(2)
Any help greatly appreciated!

Something like this should work:
(thisComp.layer("% P&L").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")+2).toFixed(2) -
Hello,
Try something like this:
(thisComp.layer('% P&L').effect('Slider Control')('Slider')+2).toFixed(2);

Dan you are an absolute hero, saved my bacon again!
Fabrice thanks also for the super swift reply.
Sending huge thanks both your ways!

Last one, I promise!!
Can either of you help with the below:
“$”+ num = (thisComp.layer(“% P&L”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)*10000000).toFixed(0);
function addCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
}
addCommas(num)
Basically I have a text layer looking at a slider, multiplying that number by 10,000,000, keeping it to two decimal places and adding in commas….however I want a dollar sign at the start.
Searching around I came up with the above but the $ symbol is not showing.
As always your help is appreciated.

All good chaps, just figured it out by switching it around!…
num = “$”+ (thisComp.layer(“% P&L”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)*10000000).toFixed(0);
function addCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
}
addCommas(num)

Yes or you can use Intl.NumberFormat
Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
style: 'currency',
currency: 'USD',
minimumFractionDigits: 0
}).format((thisComp.layer('% P&L').effect('Slider Control')(1) * 10000000));

Hey guys, one more question on the above!
When inputting the following number on the below script -0.1742331 the output is $-1,742,331. Is there a way to change the script so the output is -$1,742,331…the minus symbol comes before the dollar sign rather than after it?
num = “$”+ (thisComp.layer(“% P&L”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)*10000000).toFixed(0);
function addCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, “,”);
}
addCommas(num)
As always any help would be super appreciated!

Try it this way:
n = thisComp.layer("% P&L").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
sign = n < 0 ? "-" : "";
num = sign + "$"+ (Math.abs(n)*10000000).toFixed(0);
function addCommas(x) {
return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
}
addCommas(num)

As always, worked perfectly!
Your help is super appreciated! Thanks
