@rivalpro Yes, you can pull in the value as a text layer, then use an expression to tie your shape size / percent completion to the SourceText property of the text layer by wrapping it in a parseInt(). If your text layer is “text-1”, and your text layer is in the same comp as whatever numerical value you are using to control your bar, the expression would be:

parseInt(thisComp.layer("text-1").text.sourceText)

That would convert your text value from being just a text string into a number.
