Rounding Significant Figures in Excel

Use the following formula to round a value to a certain number of sigfigs:

=ROUND(value,sigfigs-(1+INT(LOG10(ABS(value)))))

How is this different from
=ROUND(value,sigfigs-1)
I am trying to understand the need for using log and such, because I tried this for negative values and negative sigfigs.
