    Showing a text instead of evaluating the formula using firmulaR1C1

    I have this code:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    But it doesn't evaluate the formula and just writes =SUM (R2C:R[-1]C) into the cell.
    The cell format is General and Show formula is off. I have no idea what is wrong. I've just seen a similar code on a reference book but it's not working for me!

    I would appreciate any help!

    remove the space between SUM and (

    the VBA approach will not automatically report and fix the extra space as it would do if entered manually.
