Concrete floor uneven for tiling

Hi,
I Have a patio that i wish to tile but the floor was poured in two sections and the last is higher by about 20mls in the middle.
Would a Tile Levelling Compound fix this problem.
Many Thanks

20mm is outside the scope of these floor levelling compounds. The joint will also crack the tiles eventually.

hello,

best to do a sand and cement screed, fairly dry mix

I would also put an expansion joint where the joint is
