How to pivot on multiple columns

I'm trying to do a pivot from a table with multiple columns like this one:

 

Column nameData 1Data 2Data 3Data 4Data 5
Id2514371044
Date15/07/201726/09/201805/04/201605/01/201910/11/2018
Product nameProduct 1Product 2Product 3Product 4Product 5
Price250,1418,35,630050,2
Quantity10243823

 


The desired result is this one:

 

IdDateProduct namePriceQuantity
2515/07/2017Product 1250,1410
1426/09/2018Product 218,324
3705/04/2016Product 35,638
10405/01/2019Product 43002
410/11/2018Product 550,23



The pivot tool works well with a single column. Is there a way to do this with a variable column number?

Thanks in advance.

Use a RecordID to keep things in order while you transform the data. Check out the attached solution and let me know if you have any questions.
