Combining Data from 2 Different pbix Files

Hi,

 

Is there a way to create a new report in Power BI Desktop using different appended data tables from 2 different pbix files?

 

For example:

Power BI Desktop file 1 (Appended Table A) + Power BI Desktop file 2 (Appended Table B) 

=
New Power BI Desktop file (Appended Table A + Appended Table B)

 

Appreciate your kind advice. Thanks!

Best regards,
Mark V.
