I've used Excel formulas in a basic way (sums, averages, divisions, and
multiplication of cell data) for about a year.

I came across this formula today for a project I need to complete. I've
never seen the "SUMIF" or the dollar symbol, OR the ampersand! After
hilighting the formula to see if I could just figure it out, I'm
stumped.

Any chance someone could explain what function these symbols serve

Here is the formula

=SUMIF($D$3:$D$28,"="&$C38,H$3:H$28)
