        #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromRecords({Source}),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Id", type any}, {"Data1", type any}, {"Date2", type any}, {"Date3", type any}}),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Table.FromColumns({[Id],[Data1],[Date2],[Date3]})),
        #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Custom"}),
        #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Custom", {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4"}, {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4"}),
        #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Expanded Custom", {"Column2", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
        #"Extracted Values1" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Extracted Values", {"Column3", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
        #"Extracted Values2" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Extracted Values1", {"Column4", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text})

    Here is another possible solution:

     

    let
        Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\aolson\Downloads\Sample.json")),
        #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromColumns(Record.FieldValues(Source), Record.FieldNames(Source)),
        #"Expand Lists" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Converted to Table", List.Transform(List.Skip(Table.ColumnNames(#"Converted to Table")), (col) => {col, each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}))
    in
        #"Expand Lists"
