In the Other (Outras), at the bottom there's a "Blank Query" option, click that one.

And then, when you have the formula bar, type:

= OleDb.Query

It'll show a small help about how you can use that function

You can use it like this:

= OleDb.Query("your connection string", "your query")

You need to find out what connection string & query you need to type in 🙂

My Power BI Desktop doesn´t recognize

OleDb.Query

Is it possible to create an OLEDB connection to a file?
