Hi there,
I have several hundred statistical data sets, which are being displayed on the fly. The values can vary between 0.001 and 10000000 for the different sets.
Now, when displaying some statistics like min and max, it is ok to strip the decimal places for most of the variables, but not for all.
293873982.35 becomes 293873982
0.04 becomes 0
So, I implemented a series of IFs, to specify that if the value is between 1 and 10, than 1 decimal; if smaller as 1 than 2....
But I wonder if there is a more elegant way to this. A small mathematical algorithm, which does it "better".
Thanks for any ideas!

You mean significant figures? That's not mine, just someone else's function I found for you.
Interesting, could use this one for another part of the project. But no, I think more in the terms of "pay attention when to show how many decimals, depending on the "size" of the number".
So, I think it's close to what I want, but not really.
what about scientific display (like 1.234e+8 or 1.234e-2), maybe that's close to what you want?
@Dormilich
No, thanks, but that's too complicated for "normal" users. :-)
@luftikus143
I'm afraid the normal number rounding options of decimal places or significant figures are pretty much the only standard. If you show us your code already done we can maybe streamline it, but I doubt you will find a single function without making your own.
