You have already calculations in the spreadsheet and want to add explanations
which might start with =, so you click on column or row header and set format
text.

 And if they are useful, why don't we have two

Yes, a UI feature to convert number content into text, which performs a real
conversion, would be useful. If such exists, a wrong use of formatting would be
less likely.
