Why do people use formulae to work things out when using spreadsheets?

Because formulae save typing, and brain power - especially if it's a complicated spreadsheet. Take something simple - like a spreadsheet to work out the interest and repayments on a loan... It's much quicker to let the spreadsheet work out the amount of interest to be added each month - than to work it out manually. Additionally, the formula can be copied to more than one cell.
