I have created an instance on Google BigTable and created an external table on Google BigQuery and created an external table which can able to fetch records from BigTable. I tried to create a BigQuery datasource in Power BI Desktop but the external tables are not listing but the tables created on BigQuery are been listed! Is it an issue? or any possible solutions?

I replicated your scenario and got the same behavior as the one you described. It seems that at the moment Power BI does not support BigTable external tables. A workaround is to create one or more views based on the BigTable table and then connect to those views.
In addition, if you're interested you can report the Power BI behavior here.
