Counter with Slider Control - Add space

Hi!

I can't find the solution to something I thought can be easily fixed.

I created a very basic counter, going from 100 € to 2000 €.

So the Slider Control effect is applied on a solid, and I applied this expression to the Source Text:

Math.round(thisComp.layer("counter").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")) + " €"

However, I would like the numbers above 999 to be spelt with a space. So basically: "1 000", instead of "1000".

I found the expression "addComas", but nothing for the space.

Can you help me on that?

Thanks!

I believe you can replace the comma with a space in line 26 ( I think )

Yes, you can format the number with spaces instead of commas by slightly modifying the expression that handles the delimiter. Since the separator is just a character, replacing the comma with a " " (space) will display values like 1 000 or 1 500 correctly. This kind of formatting Tally Counter presents readable counts for users—adding spacing or separators simply improves clarity when numbers become larger.
