Hello,
Can someone tell me how to quickly duplicate duplicates which at the end of the respective name is only ever there.

Thanks and Greetings

My interpretation of your question in this video resulting in the following code (the first line was created when I entered the data before I started the recording):

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8k0sSk7NcUotTVfILFbIz8upVEgtSy1SKMlILUpVitUhRoVbak5mRbyBpYEpSEUeBbIYpscCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t]),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.EndsWith([Name], "only ever there")),
    #"Kept Duplicates" = let columnNames = {"Name"}, addCount = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", columnNames, {{"Count", Table.RowCount, type number}}), selectDuplicates = Table.SelectRows(addCount, each [Count] > 1), removeCount = Table.RemoveColumns(selectDuplicates, "Count") in Table.Join(#"Filtered Rows", columnNames, removeCount, columnNames, JoinKind.Inner),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Kept Duplicates", "Custom", each {1..2}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Custom",{"Custom"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
