Hi @Anonymous,

 

As you are using DirectQuery connection mode, there is no data imported to Power BI desktop, and there is no Data tab which is available in Import mode for us to see imported table columns. For more information, you can see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-use-directquery

Connection to Oracle from Power BI using direct query works but not import. When I connect through import it gives me an error: "The provider microsoft.powerbi.oledb is not registered". Can someone please help me understand what the issue is. Thanks!
