Totaling Samples per Month based on an Average

I have a data set where individual samples failures from particular lots are recorded as individual rows.  Each failure has partilar columns for lot#, severity, sample size, and month.  I would like to add a column for total samples tested per month.  I cannot simply sum the samples sizes because there are sometimes multiple rows entered per lot.  Instead, I must average the sample sizes per lot and then sum those averages.  I was thinking of using the cross tab and the multi-field tool but I am having trouble with the correct expression to use.  Can someone offer some advice?   below is an example of what I am looking to do.  

 

This is what i currently have:

LotSample SizeSeverityTest Month
A1400AJan
A1400BJan
A1200N/AJan
A2200N/AJan
A3200BFeb
A3200BFeb
A3200BFeb
A4200BFeb
A5200N/AMarch
A6200BMarch
A6200BMarch
A7200N/AMarch

 

This is what I look like to have:

LotSample SizeSeverityTest MonthTotal Samples per Month
A1400AJan600
A1400BJan600
A1400N/AJan600
A2200N/AJan600

How about the attached workflow?

 

It uses Unique to select a single record per Lot-Month combination, then Sums Sample Size to the Month granurality, and joins the aggregrated value back in with your original data.
