Question

Creating text animation that depends on another one.

Hi!
I have a question - need to animate a currency conversion. So like if I change the amount in Euros, dollar amount changes accordingly at the same time.
When I use a simple typewriter animation for text 250 and 249.75, it doesn't look very "real time". So I wonder if there is any expression I could use to make (250) euro amount change into (250*0.89) in the linked text layer.

You essentially already answered your own question - just substitute your fixed value with the reference to a slider or the other source text and then multiply it by whatever factor.

    Thank you! That's just i'm very new to it and don't understand the right syntax, already tried to link an empty text layer to 250 and tried to multiply it by 0.89 but it seems to be an error 

    thisComp.layer("250 ")*0.89
