Create Multiple Tables From One SQL Statement

I have two tables I need created.  I am pulling data from a SQL server, then writing a SQL statement that generates some temp tables, that I end up joining together to create the first power BI table.  Then I need to take 90% of these temp tables and add a few more temp tables to create the second Power BI table.   I know I can create this as two SQL statements and get my two tables.  What I want to do though, is write ONE sql statement and have it output two different tables (just like you can do with SQLQuery with multiple Select Statements).

You can run any number of SQL queries, but the final result must be a single table.  What you can do is UNION ALL the two tables in SQL and then separate them in Power Query.
