The summatory function of the Moebius $\mu$-function is called the Mertens function $M(x)$ (which has been denoted by $f(x)$ here). An analytic formula for $M(x)$ is not known, but there are formulas involving the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann $\zeta$-function (sometimes assuming RH), see for example here.
