Default How to retrieve number of visible digits after decimal point in VBA

Greetings:

Not sure if there's a way to do it, but someone might have a good idea. I want to retrieve the number of visible decimals in a cell as an integer.

For instance, a cell has a value of 98.7654321, and displays as 98.8 because its NumberFormat is "#,##0.0_);(#,##0.0)". This should return '1'.

A cell with a value of 87.6543212 would display as 88 if the value is zero.

I'm NOT asking how to format a cell to show a certain number of decimals. I already know how to do that by setting the NumberFormat. I want to know how to retrieve as an integer the number of decimals that are being displayed.

Thanks,
Nathan
