I am not in front of my AE right now but you could try this:
– Create a new text layer
-add the following expression to sourcetext:

//–Begin expression

beginNum = 50000000;//Beginning number of counter
endNum = 10;//Ending number of counter
duration = 3;//duration of count down in seconds
linear(time, 0, duration, beginNum, endNum)

//–End expression

Here is a a simple way to round a number to a specified amound of decimal places:
Just pick whip nums to something else and change the value of the numOfPlaces variable to make it round to a different number of decimal places.

//–Begin Expression
nums = thisComp.layer(“Deep Lime Green Solid 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
numOfPlaces = 3;
//–Do not modify below this line

function roundTo(number, places)
{
num = Math.round ( Math.pow(number, places) );
num /= Math.pow(10, places);
return num;
}

roundTo(nums, numOfPlaces)

//–End expression

Here is an expression for source text that should add leading zeroes to a number. Just modify the amtOfZeroes variable and pick whip the nums variable to whatever the source of your number is.

//–Expression begins
nums = thisComp.layer(“Deep Lime Green Solid 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
amtOfZeroes = 10;
//–Do not modify below this line
isNeg = false;
if(nums < 0) { nums = Math.abs( nums ); isNeg = true; } sVal = Math.round( nums ) + ""; while(sVal.length < amtOfZeroes) { sVal = "0" + sVal; } if(isNeg) sVal = "-" + sVal; sVal //--Expression ends ~Colin

Try this:

s = thisComp.layer(“Second Layer”);
[value[0], s.rotation]

What this does is basiacly say create a variable named s that is the layer in the comp called second layer. Then set the Y scale of the current layer to the rotation of the layer “Second Layer.” This expression leaves the x component of the scale as is.

unfortunately, you can’t really time remap something from something else, because expressions can only modify the parameter they are assigned to .
