COMPLEX displays a text value
You may want to experiment with formulas such as
=COMPLEX(ROUND(1/3,2),1)

When one cell contains COMPLEX(1,1), it displays "1+i" nicely.
However, when it is like COMPLEX(1/3,1), it displays
"0.3333333333333333+i".
I noticed they are also flushed left, unlike normal numbers.
Is there any format to tell Excel to display complex number with limited
number of digits? Formatting the cell does not seem to do anything on
complex numbers.
