Pavilion1984. Thanks alot mate, i managed to solve the issue yesterday evening using the exact same method :slight_smile: nice to know my solution wasnt a bad idea as i am new to all of this. I thought i was going to have to modify some of the libraries which looked rather daunting.

 threshold = analogRead (pinA0Value);   // read value of A0

  if (threshold<=999 && threshold>=100) { 
      lcd.setCursor (3,1);        // go to start of the second line - 4th char
      lcd.print("    ");           // clear out the thousands char as it is no longer needed
  
  }else if (threshold<=99 && threshold>=10) {
      lcd.setCursor (2,1);        // go to start of the second line - 3rd char
      lcd.print("     ");         // clear out the hundreds char as it is no longer needed

  }else if (threshold<=9 && threshold >=0) {
      lcd.setCursor (1,1);        // go to start of the second line - 2nd char
      lcd.print("      ");        // clear out the tens char as it is no longer needed
  }
  
  lcd.setCursor (0,1);        // go to start of 2nd line
  lcd.print(threshold, DEC);  // print the threshold value
