No

In VBA there are two ways you enter formula
.FORMULA
.FORMULAR1C1

The first one is basically as formula. It does not really take into account any change of rows or column

FORMULAR1C1 is used when you have relative positioning
R refers to row, C to column. In such formula A1, D2 etc does not work

in such formula, you have to state row and column
RC = mean same row and column where the formula is being written
R1C: means first row and same column where the formula is being written
R1C1: means first row, first column
R: means same row
C: means same column
R[1]C: means same column but one row down
R[-1]C[3] : would mean: one row up and 3 columns to right (so if this was in B3, this would be refering to E2

Now you dont change. formulaR1c1. as it indicated how you would be defining the formula

.formular1c1="=sUM(r3c5:r3c10)"

Pasted this as code

Sub week2()
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=sUM(r3c5:r3c10)"
    
End Sub

nothing happened

That was an example to show you how R1C1 formula is written. If you had used this formula and ran the macro, see what formula gets written in the active cell

i got the formula
=SUM($E$3:$J$3) written in the active cell

see the point ?
The code said
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R3C5:R3C10)"

and the formula that showed up is
=SUM($E$3:$J$3)

R3 = $3 . because you are saying that row would be 3. It is absolute row number

C5 = column # 5 which is E

C10 = column # 10 which is J
