Source of that pivot is SQL server, hence the sampling is not possible, because i don't have acess to that server. I have only acess to the Xlsm file

vjnvinod,
Could you please describe more details about how the Excel file is created? You can review the steps I use to create the Excel file.
Use this option to connect to SQL in Exceluse the load option to load data to data modelselect "Add this data to the Data Model" option
After the above steps, I create a pivot table as shown in first image and save the Excel file in xlsm format. And I successfully connect to the Excel in Power BI Desktop.

Hi Lydia,

I am using Excel 2016, please check this sample Excel file. You should find same option in Power Query tab of Excel 2013/Excel 2010.

You can follow my previous steps to make a test with your own SQL.

vjnvinod,
Yes. You would need to have access to the SQL database you connect to.
