When using the sum function by entering
=sum(a1:a5),

in one spreadsheet I am seeing it shown in a strange format:
=SUM(R[-5]C:R[-1]C)

Why is it different in this one spreadsheet and how do I get it back? I
copied a portion from another workbook, but the original workbook shows the
sum the original way.

Thanks for the help.
