I would like to copy the Reference value if they have the same name.I don't understand that part.
What should happen in this scenario?
Do you expect both references to be listed?
Or more like this?
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jVNBCoMwEPyLZ6XRouBR8WIxFY1BiviD0lsP/X034uqabMRbdmYy2U0m0xSMhWp6IeIgDD7f9zuYwwP2vBWR6pqo6RcGlmMtxJ2qCYbqsaZMwqg5LPZglmvbF1LvDJSR1Daz+ciXOx/BjAOU6CD14MxHsEWtB+xkZRJGnXjVMaOOWbXUeZ5basRQvfcNE6XilKE+Zn67b8TQYX3zlbH7PtwgUXeKvg6UWyc7s/k8ytbx5rCqTJy9BDMnQYknQX6dmyaYUUOJN33hBxj18QcwuWRTXFdO3wSDJXW4ktWfIu9ynjQul9fTx6k9SfLnTmTePGVMnlIPRh3mPw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [name = _t, reference = _t]), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"null",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"reference"}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Replaced Value", {"name"}, {{"Rows", each _, type table [name=nullable text, reference=nullable text]}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Reference", each List.First(List.RemoveNulls([Rows][reference]))), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom",{"name", "Reference"}) in #"Removed Other Columns"

Hi Anonymous
I see there are many duplicated rows in the expecing result, does this mean the result before moving duplicates? Let's take WASLR001 for example, why the first reference is kept and the second reference is removed? Does it mean that you only need to keep the first non-null reference for every name?
