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"

Thank you lbendlin . 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? I need to allow duplicates in the ID column.
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 |

Doesn't look like you used my code. Can you show what you modified?

Hi lbendlin , I used your code to the best of my ability. After I load the data from the source, there are steps I need to add to get my data looking like the example. Therefore, I grabbed your code starting from the #"Replaced Value" step.
Here is my complete code with confidential info removed.
let Source = Sql.Database("*******", "*********"), dbo_CustomFieldDatas = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="CustomFieldDatas"]}[Data], #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(dbo_CustomFieldDatas,{"FieldDefinitionName", "TicketId", "DateTimeValue", "StringValue", "ListItemName"}), #"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each (Text.Contains([FieldDefinitionName], "Billet Support **") and [StringValue] <> null and [StringValue] <> "") or (Text.Contains([FieldDefinitionName], "Raison Billet **") and [ListItemName] <> null and [ListItemName] <> "") or (Text.Contains([FieldDefinitionName], "Date/Heure de création du billet **") and [DateTimeValue] > #datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)) or (Text.Contains([FieldDefinitionName], "Date/Heure de fermeture du billet **") and [DateTimeValue] > #datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0))), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows1", each [StringValue] <> "123" and [StringValue] <> "234" and [StringValue] <> "345"), #"Added Group column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Group", each Text.AfterDelimiter([FieldDefinitionName], "** "), type text), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Group column", "Type", each Text.Remove([FieldDefinitionName],{"0".."9"})), #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "DataType", each if [FieldDefinitionName] = "Date/Heure de création du billet ** 1" then "Created" else if [FieldDefinitionName] = "Raison Billet ** 1" then "Reason" else if [FieldDefinitionName] = "Date/Heure de fermeture du billet MS 1" then "Closed" else "Ticket", type text), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"FieldDefinitionName", "Type"}), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"ListItemName", "Reason"}, {"StringValue", "**Ticket"}}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"TicketId", "Group", "DataType", "**Ticket", "Reason", "DateTimeValue"}), #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Reordered Columns",{{"**Ticket", "Ticket"}, {"DataType", "Name"}, {"DateTimeValue", "DateTime"}, {"TicketId", "ID"}}), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed Columns1","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"Please let me know where I went wrong and how I can have multiple rows with the same ID and Ticket, Reason, Created and Closed values. Thanks.
