Is there a less annoying way to set up a display to show a circuit value other than making 100 separate rules?

I'm trying to not have to do this: Thanks!

You can utilize decimal positional number system (instead of a separate rule for each possible value split the value into multiple digits).
See e.g. viewtopic.php?p=644584.

Yes, a common solution to a different problem.

I'm trying to create a status board showing several bits of numeric information in a limited space; ideally, 1 display per status.

I can set it up with individual values as shown in OP, but the creation of said status display is rather painful. Even more so if I want to do a dozen or 200 of them. So my question is if there's some sort of clever way to make the text-message be a certain circuit value without requiring the entire range of values/digits.

Thanks!
