Using Excel for science classes (the only classes I ever use Excel for) is a
pain because there isn't an easy way to deal with significant figures.
Sometimes setting the number of decimal places helps. Plus, it would be nice
if excel offered a method for dealing with the number "53,000,000" in which
it had 5 sig. figs. Scientific notation would be useful in this circumstance,
but usually I have to deal with, for example, "10" such that it has 2
significant figures. It really is a pain going through all the data fixing
it to deal with such simple matters.
