Compare 2 Excel Files

Hi everybody! I have 2 Excel Files. File A and File B.

Both have the same column name and same row number (about 8000+).

Product Name and Store ID are the same, but the value of other columns may be different.

Could I use the PowerBI to generate the difference report?

I really would appreciate an answer!

The report I want to generate is like the following, the difference may be highlighted.

@Anonymous , In Power Query merge left anti join, and Except in DAX can give you a new table with difference,

 

Other wise you have create common tables and compare values in measures to find differnece

@amitchandak It will be appreciated if you could tell how to realize my following requirement.  I merged the 2 tables in to Merge table, and want to highlight the difference by comparing table A [Product_Origin] vs table B [Product_Origin],

 table A [Transaction_Time]   vs table B [Transaction_Time] ,and other mutiple columns like the screenshot.Merge.PNG
