Get Data from PowerBI option missing in Excel

Hi.

I'm struggling with this issue where i don't see PowerBI as an option in my excel's Get Data option.

I wanted to connect to a PowerBI dataset from an excel pivot.
I'm on Office 365.

Microsoft's documentation about this is pretty vague, i'm trying to understand exactly what the issue is.

I have tried these solutions, but still to no succes.
Some users have the option other users in the same organisation don't have these options.
