You need =$A1+$A2, or =$A$1+$A$2 if you also want to be able to copy down
without it changing.

Look in Excel help for the difference between absolute and relative
addressing.

Scenario:

A1 + A2 = A3

so in A3 i have "=A1+A2"

So if i want to copy that formula in lets say B3 then it would adapt the
reference so it would ready "=B1+B2"

I dont want that - how can i keep that original refernces wherever i copy
the formula?
