click and drag a cell

=A1+B2

if i click and drag it into more cells it changes to =A2+B3 and in the next
one =A3+B4 and so on.

how do i stop it from doing that? i want it to show =A1+B2 in every cell.

Use absolute referencing =$A$1+$B$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.
