Default significant figures

Here is my dilema: Have a huge spread sheet that takes hours of manual
calculations and turns it into a 5-10min process. However i am in the process
of validating it but in my eyes its not good enough. In my spreadsheet i need
to keep 4 significant figures in most of my showing calc's but the input
values change. So for instance, I get .004454, 0.00004436, and 0.0004853. I
need to keep 4 significant figures at all times. But i cannot use the round
function the way that excel help has it definded. i can only get it to keep
"X" amount of digets which is not what i want. Is there anything i can do to
change this or is it asking to much of excel?

Thanks,
Crystal
