You must rename the 3 columns with the same name can be "Column A", then one the top ribbon use Append Queries as New.

Select "Transform Data", then "Append Queries as New" and select the tables to want to join.  This will create a new table with all 3 data sources.

 

Sorry, should have said, import all 3 files into Power Bi.
