Default How do I copy a formula to another cell

=SUM(A1+A2) IN CELL A3
=SUM(B1+B2) IN CELL B3, but when i copy the formula from cell A3 to cell B3,
it changes the everything correctly except is carries the A3 calculation down
to B3 - it doesn't add the current cell information.

I am trying to copy a basic addition formula from 1 cell to another...When
I
do this it copies the cells correctly but gives me the answer from the
previous cell copied from.
example
A1 = 100, A2 = 100 so A3 would be A1+A2=A3 = 200
if i copy that formula from A3 to B3 I get the same ending firgure even if
my numbers in B1 and B2 are different.
