Default I would like to accomplish conditional decimal formatting in a cel

Whereas a whole number is represented as 85.00 (2 decimals), and less than a
whole number is represented as .8500(4 decimals).
My excel speadsheet deals with ppm (parts per million) and percent of a gas
or a gas range. To display my ppm values correctly I require 4 decimals,
however when the same worksheet/cell reflects % it looks like this( 85.0000).
I do not have the available space to accomodate the larger number(plus it
looks terrible!). I tried some of the custom cell formats found in excel, but
I could not find one that would work. I also tried an IF statement, but could
not find a way to modify the decimals when excel met the criteria of the
statement.
Any ideas....anyone....anyone.
