Is it possible to aggregate list entries?

I am wondering if it is possible to aggregate list entries (and their numerical fields) based on matching values. The objective is to consolidate the number of entries in the list. I could pull the existing entries prior to pushing a new value then push the value with the new field totals, however this would cause zero-time dips in the list's content tracking. Any ideas are appreciated.

Here is an example model that gives one way of aggregating items on a list. It basically checks if a new entry matches any entries on the list already, and if it does, make changes to the entry already on the list while not pulling it off the list, or push the new entry on the list.

Hi @Joshua S, thank you for your quick reply. I am hoping to use the list's built in statistics collector to track number field totals which I believe will only work with static (non-dynamic) fields. I could always use a different approach, but an all-in-one solution would be nice.
