Getting data from an SQL server is pretty simple. Just select "Get Data" on the "Data" ribbon and then "From Other Sources". One choice is "SQL Server" which will open a dialog where you can enter your server credentials and then the SQL code to select your data.

By using a converter online (like https://sqlizer.io/#/), you will be able to convert your excel document to SQL, and then use it in your local SQL server.
