Please follow the below steps.

1. File > Options & Settings >> Options >> Clear Cache (Data, Q&A Cache Management)

2. File > Options & Settings >> Data Source Settings >> Global Permissions >> Clear Permissions >> Clear All Permissions 

3. Try to connect the data source now from "Get Data".

Please refer the link for alternate way.

Thanks @venal 

I do follow your steps but it didn't work.

Please not that I didn't see the "Organizational account" option from the first time I open Power BI. 

Even the link is not helpful. I dont want to work with Excel !

It will open the screen of Office 365 Login > Enter Credentials.

It will show all the lists available in the SharePoint - lists are on the left corner and their preview is on the right.

Select all the lists which you want to use directly in the Power BI.

It will load all the lists. Expand "Fields" column to view all the fields shown in the SharePoint List.

We can also view all the lists in relationship list.
