Default significant digits for decimals

Your equation needed a slight modification. As it is, it is OK for decimals,
but not OK for big numbers. I made this modification and it works for both
magnitudes.
=ROUND(C4,(3-1)-INT(LOG(C4)))

The trick is to subtract 1 from the number of digits you want.
Thanks everybody
