Default Prob an easy one: How do i copy a formula EXACTLY as it is

Use absolute referencing

=$A$1+$A$2

Below are the different reference styles.

A1 Relative referencing. Both column and row will change if you copy or drag
the formula.
$A1 The column reference is fixed and will not change
A$1 The row reference is fixed and will not change.
$A$1 Column and row reference are fixed.

If this post helps click Yes

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?
