In this scenario, since your data system can extract data into Excel, you can directly connect the Excel file and use it as data source in Power BI Desktop.

 

You can also use Web.Contents() function in Power Query to get data from web, web service. See: Using The RelativePath And Query Options With Web.Contents() In Power Query And Power BI M Code

 

Or you can convert the SOAP into REST:

 

Converting SOAP-based WCF Service to RESTful Design
Turn SOAP into REST

 

Then just "Get Data"-->"Other"-->"Web", it will parse the JSON into a table in Query Editor.
