Like the others have pointed out, there seems to be no "real" support
for R1C1-addressing. But it seems to me, that there is a (quite clumsy)
workaround. Nevertheless, it should work in most cases:

You have to use a combination of the INDIRECT and ADDRESS functions.
(Since I'm using the German version of OOo, I'm not totally sure if my
translations of the function-names are correct, but I hope they'll
point into the right direction at least.)

So, to translate an Excel-like

 =SUM(R3C8:R6C9)

to Calc, use

 =SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(3;8) & ":" & ADDRESS(6;9)))
