// FormatValue returns a value, and possibly an error condition
// from a Cell.  If it is possible to apply a format to the cell
// value, it will do so, if not then an error will be returned, along
// with the raw value of the Cell.
//
// This is the documentation of the "General" Format in the Office Open XML spec:
//
// Numbers
// The application shall attempt to display the full number up to 11 digits (inc. decimal point). If the number is too
// large*, the application shall attempt to show exponential format. If the number has too many significant digits, the
// display shall be truncated. The optimal method of display is based on the available cell width. If the number cannot
// be displayed using any of these formats in the available width, the application shall show "#" across the width of
// the cell.
//
// Conditions for switching to exponential format:
// 1. The cell value shall have at least five digits for xE-xx
// 2. If the exponent is bigger than the size allowed, a floating point number cannot fit, so try exponential notation.
// 3. Similarly, for negative exponents, check if there is space for even one (non-zero) digit in floating point format**.
// 4. Finally, if there isn't room for all of the significant digits in floating point format (for a negative exponent),
// exponential format shall display more digits if the exponent is less than -3. (The 3 is because E-xx takes 4
// characters, and the leading 0 in floating point takes only 1 character. Thus, for an exponent less than -3, there is
// more than 3 additional leading 0's, more than enough to compensate for the size of the E-xx.)
//
// Floating point rule:
// For general formatting in cells, max overall length for cell display is 11, not including negative sign, but includes
// leading zeros and decimal separator.***
//
// Added Notes:
// * "If the number is too large" can also mean "if the number has more than 11 digits", so greater than or equal to
// 1e11 and less than 1e-9.
// ** Means that you should switch to scientific if there would be 9 zeros after the decimal (the decimal and first zero
// count against the 11 character limit), so less than 1e9.
// *** The way this is written, you can get numbers that are more than 11 characters because the golang Float fmt
// does not support adjusting the precision while not padding with zeros, while also not switching to scientific
// notation too early.
