VBA: Purpose of .Text and .Formula (when writing)?

I'm pretty new to VBA and I was wondering if there's a point to distinguish between Range().Value and Range().Formula/Text when writing data to cells. I've tried it and it seems to me that it works just as well using .Value.



I know that they return different things when used to read out data
