Text.Combine - loss of unit items

I'm trying to join column items in Power Query based on a subject, group, and item data link.
I try to split related items ";". The problem arises that I lose those items that are unique and do not merge, and in that case I would like to leave them without merging.
Thanks in advance!

= Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"item number", "group", "item"}, {{"Labels", each Text.Combine([Labels1],";"), type text}})

Hi @mraka9 ,

 

What do you mean by lost? I created the following example data and there is no data loss after executing your formula.

Thank you for your reply!
I will have to go through my whole model again. There is a possibility that I made a mistake in some of the previous steps.
