Visual Connector and task.IncludeAllfields

Hi Brian,
 
It's been quite a while since I've had a question and I hope all has been well with you and yours over the last couple of crazy years.

Excel "Sumif" Formula Equivalent

Hi all,
 
I was wondering if there's a function or script that's similar to the "Sumif" formula in Excel? I'm trying to eliminate expense reversals and in Excel, I use the following sumif formula to achieve this:
=IF(SUMIF($BA:$BA,$BA2,$AU:$AU)=0,"Yes","No")
Where column BA is the unique expense number (which can be the same if there's a reversal of expense) and column AU is the expense amount.
