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 !
