Today, I'm doing an EM problem and my question is exactly the same as this site shows:

To reiterate my confusion, why we can't use that integral formula at the end V(r)=1/4 pi epislon...+1/4 pi epislon... This formula appears right in the same chapter of the problem. I know we can solve it by applying the Gauss Law, but why this formula won't work.
I calculated it by using this formula, and I get a totally different answer.
