You can try the following codelet Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jcxLCoAwDEXRvWTcQD5tk7cIQXBYuv9t2KEoqNPL4Y5B2gyqTaiQiQhnaK287exuzqsozbJYRc+A3djBHcCD+YOFy/XWxNPQ/7BAfrPMjNfbPAE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Reference = _t]), GroupedRows = Table.Group(Source, {"Reference"}, {{"MaxID", each List.Max([ID]), type number}}), MergedTables = Table.NestedJoin(Source, {"Reference"}, GroupedRows, {"Reference"}, "GroupedRows", JoinKind.LeftOuter), ExpandedTable = Table.ExpandTableColumn(MergedTables, "GroupedRows", {"MaxID"}), AddedCustom = Table.AddColumn(ExpandedTable, "Label", each if [ID] = [MaxID] then "Latest Version" else null), RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(AddedCustom,{"MaxID"}) in RemovedColumnsFinal output

Thanks PwerQueryKees
Annoylingly, the RSS feed for taking the information has been changed, and they have changed the datafields. I thought it would have been simple to change the code in your response to suit the new fields, but when I do this, I get a column not found error.
New table below, and still Reference is the duplicate area, but now ID is the new field to look at as being the highest number representing the latest version.
