I don´t know what is happening!!!

I inserted the formula =b1-a1 and the result appears, but then when I copy and paste (even paste espacial as formula) the results of b2-a2, b3-a3, b4-a4... appears the same of the firts formula. It just modifies when I press F2 and ENTER.

Example:
....A.........B..............C
1..4.........1 (=B1-A1) -3
2..3.........7 (=B2-A2) -3 then, pressing F2 and ENTER the right result appears
3..1.........5 (=B3-A3) -3 then, pressing F2 and ENTER the right result appears
4..6.........3 (=B4-A4) -3 then, pressing F2 and ENTER the right result appears
5..7.........2 (=B5-A5) -3 then, pressing F2 and ENTER the right result appears

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

Does it say Calculate in the Status Bar? If so you need to press F9 to update your formulas or choose Tools|Options|Calculation tab and check Automatic.
