I would like to establish two cells, one taking its value from the other.
For example, What value is found in C3 will automatically be placed in say,
D4. I am a novice and could not find this calculaton in the function option.
Advice sought

In D4, type the formula =C3

If you don't want D4 to show zero when C3 is empty, then use
=IF(C3="","",C3)

Much thanks for the timely and successful solution. I would like to include
one additional functon. I need to create a cell, say B2 to reflect the
amount of say C8 minuse E8. The continued support is well appreciated.

See Ragdyer's response for a formula.

Please don't take this as criticism but perhaps a bit of basic training could
help.

Here are a few basic tutorials for Excel to get a beginner going.

Click in D4 and enter an equal sign ( = ),
Click in C3, and hit <Enter.
