#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Home", type text}, {"Destination", type text}}),
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"Home"}, #"Changed Type", {"Name"}, "Added Custom", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
#"Expanded Added Custom2" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Added Custom", {"Destination"}, {"Added Custom.Destination"}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Added Custom2", "NewColumn", each
if [Destination] = "" then [Added Custom.Destination]
else [Destination]),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Added Custom",null, each [Name],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"NewColumn"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Replaced Value",{"Added Custom.Destination"}),
#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Removed Columns",{{"Name", Order.Ascending}})
in
#"Sorted Rows"
