This problem occurs in Excel 2016.
1. Go to PowerPivot – Get External Data – From Database – From SQL Server
2. In the Connect to a Microsoft SQL Server Database window, add Server Name, SQL Authentication, Password and the Database Name.
3. Then, click ADVANCED.
4. Set Persist Security Info to false.
This will fix the problem.
