Default combining or "flattening" rows

I've collected data from 4 different places. The data is different, but all
relate to the ID number in the A column.

For example B, C, D and E are all name and address info for John Doe (ID1).
F, G, H, and I are all work information for John Doe. J, K, L, M are all
contact information related to John Doe. N, O, P, Q are miscellaneous
information about John Doe.

Since they are gathered from 4 different sources, row 1 has ID1 in A, plus
the BCDE info. Row 2 has ID1 in A plus the FGHI info. Row 3 has ID1 in A
plus JKLM. And Row 4 has ID1 in A plus NOPQ info. With the exception of A
column, none of the data overlaps. So, after John Doe, row 5 would begin
John Smith (ID2) with the same data layout as described above.

Sorry if this is confusing... In layman's terms, if the A column contains
ID1, I want to somehow flatten the data into one line. As I said, somehow
moving the data up won't be a problem because none of the data overlaps
except the A column. Then repeat for ID2, ID3, etc.... Deleting the cells
would cause an issue because of the data underneath it, but moving the
contents should work fine. I can re-sort and delete the empty cells at the
end.

I'm clueless how to do this, so any help would be very appreciated.
