Yes I know,

I wanted this for a generic function.. but the example I pulled the Case Statement from was in a form which will only ever go to 2 dp.
My initial question didn't _Exactly_ specify my requirements, But then again your answer didn't _exactly_ meet my specification either! (not being ungrateful)

I'm still open to suggestions!
