I get different result when i increase the significant figures in column 12 to 6 instead of 3. Is there a set number of significant figures that I should follows or is it personal preference. For example, if a row in column 12 is calculating 1.000029 excel rounds down if sig. fig. is set to 3 decimal places which will inturn make the USF the same as the RSF.
Hi Brad,
The standard does not specify how many decimal places should be used. We use 7 decimal places for ratios and 2 decimal places for everything else. The difference will be nominal either way.
