I'm trying to figure out how I can create a "scrolling timer" like the one pictured below :
I've already set up expressions so that I can get a timer going (formated like 0.0). Now I'm just wondering how I can get the numbers to 'slide up' like above. Any ideas to get me in the right direction would help!

Anything from a text animators for position to simply typing them out and moving the strip through a matte box with stepped keyframes and an loopOut() expression. Whatever works best for you.

Sorry for the late reply... originally, I have a null object with a slider control connected to it, and then a text layer which acts as my "timer". To the text layer I added the expression thisComp.layer("NULL").effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(1), so that it counts up like this : 0.0, 0.5 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and so on... I don't want to have to manually move the strip everytime the timer goes, so is there a way I could automate it?

You need exactly one strip with numbers 0 through 9 in a pre-composition and animate the timing with keyframes and a loopOut() expression if need be. To make it loop you could in fact simply slap on a Motion Tile effect and animate the offset of that. This is not in any way complicated.
