Consider the next data in power query
Select the columns Ticket, Reason, and Date time then right click on one of them and pick unpivot columns to reach next image.
then on the value column filter non null values and also remove column Attribute to reach the next image
now select Name column and from transform tab pick pivot column and make the next setting to solve the problem.
the result would be like the next image
here you can find the whole code

Looks like my original code produces that result
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSixOSVPSUTIE4pDM5OzUEhDHyBhI5pXm5MCoWB0UlUGpicX5eQg1SanJiaXFqThUOxelJpakpqAZqaNkZGBkomtoAEQKBoZWBgZAhKE1J7+YdJ1GyJ4xNTXF7RkjLJ4pz6hUyMsvwaGaTM8YEeEZI1SdFZVV6BGD3S8IhUR4BaEYj0+MdQ0MgQibe4gIW4RCot1DTsgi6cQZsMYYARsLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Group = _t, Name = _t, Ticket = _t, Reason = _t, DateTime = _t]), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"null",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Ticket", "Reason", "DateTime"}), trans = (tbl)=> let #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Table.AddColumn(tbl, "Value", each List.RemoveNulls({[Ticket],[Reason],[DateTime]}){0}),{"Name", "Value"}) in Table.Pivot(#"Removed Other Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Other Columns"[Name]), "Name", "Value"), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Replaced Value", {"ID", "Group"}, {{"Rows", each trans(_), type table [ Ticket=nullable text, Reason=nullable text, Created=nullable text, Closed=nullable text]}}), #"Expanded Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Rows", {"Ticket", "Reason", "Created", "Closed"}, {"Ticket", "Reason", "Created", "Closed"}) in #"Expanded Rows"
NewStep=Table.Combine(Table.Group(YourTable,{"ID","Group"},{"n",each Table.FromRecords({_{0}[[ID],[Group]]&Record.FromTable(#table({"Name","Value"},Table.ToList(_,each List.RemoveNulls(List.Skip(_,2)))))})})[n])
Thank you wdx223_Daniel . I followed your instructions and received an error.
Could it have to do with the fact that I have rows where the Id column is not unique?
For example:
| ID | Group | Name | Ticket | Reason | DateTime |
| asdf | 1 | Ticket | 123 | null | null |
| asdf | 1 | Reason | null | because | null |
| asdf | 1 | Created | null | null | 2024-10-10 |
| asdf | 1 | Closed | null | null | 2024-10-11 |
| asdf | 2 | Ticket | 555 | null | null |
| asdf | 2 | Reason | null | why not | null |
| asdf | 2 | Created | null | null | 2023-01-01 |
