I know there's a way to do it but I'm clueless. I have a good bit of experience with Excel but one thing troubles me. How do I fill a cell with a number I click on in another cell?
Example: I click on let's say cell C3. I want it to be filled with the number that's in cell H6. How do I do that?

Try this:
This is an auto sheet event script
Your Workbook must be Macro enabled
To install this code:
Right-click on the sheet tab
Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
Paste the code in the VBA edit window

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C3")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
Target.Value = Range("H6").Value
End If
End Sub

If I'm not mistaken, to do this I need to right-click on the sheet name then click View Code. If that's the case, I tried your suggestion but it didn't work with what I'm trying to do.

I'm confused what you want. You seemed happy with the first answer. =H6

With the script I provided if you click on Range("C3") the value in Range("H6") will now be entered into Range("C3")

OK, I guess what I'm wanting to do is click on ANY cell in the "C" column and have it populated by ANY cell I click on in the array of cells with all the numbers in them. Hopefully this screenshot will help describe what I'm talking about.

Right click on H6, select Copy, right click on C3, select Paste (or Paste Special/Values).
