Hi Tanu,
Basically both are completely different.
Formula field are used when there has to be a Formulated value also to be displayed in another field etc.
Formulas are run only when the record is loaded.
Whereas Workflow used when based on a certain criteria we have to update a field automatically.
Workflows are used based on Save / Edit of a record.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
