@atem111,
Do you want to connect to the SharePoint Online excel? if so, you can use web connector in Power BI Desktop following the guide in this similar thread.
Or you can use SharePoint Folder connector as described in this blog: https://powerbi.tips/2016/09/loading-excel-files-from-sharepoint/.
However, if you want to connect to on-premises sharepoint excel, you can also use SharePoint Folder connector, just make sure that you use Windows authentication type.

Lydia
