Convert 1000 to 1,000

[Spade Studio]

Hi guys,

I guess this is very simple to do but I can't figure out how to do it...

I would need to set the 'Source Text' to a thousand separator (either "," or ".")

I know for removing decimals, this expression works fine:

Math.round()

My source text is linked to a 'Slider' all good until there, so if I write 1000, how can I make it to be shown 1,000 or 1.000?

Thank you!

All you're ever going to need (the techiques, not necessarily the specific code, that is):

Hi!

Thank you for sending the link, but is too complex for what I need... I also have set the duration and timing with keyframes linked to few other numbers (so I can't really use the code, is not working without the "beginCount; endCount; dur"

I tried removing part of the code and make some adjustments but, for now, is not working.

Will keep trying, please if you know any other easier way to do it, I will be more than happy to try it!

Thanks again 🙂

Try this:

s = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
s.toLocaleString()

That worked!

Awesome, thank you very much!
