In the Group By step, enabling “Include all rows?” allows the output to contain both group-level rows and original rows. All previous fields remain accessible, and newly created Group By fields are also available in the same dataset.

The Memory Group By step does not provide an _Include all rows_ option and returns only aggregated data. If original fields are required, the original dataset must be preserved and joined with the aggregated output.
