In Power Query:

Code:
let
    Source = Table1,
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Shop Id", each if [Date] = null then [Ref] else null),
    #"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Added Custom",{"Shop Id"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filled Down", each [Date] <> null and [Date] <> "")
in
    #"Filtered Rows"
