Hi @Bladimir ,

 

Power BI Desktop uses Unmanaged ODP.NET for authoring Power BI reports. You only need the following steps when using Oracle ODAC drivers 12.2 and later. Otherwise, they install by default to a non-machine-wide configuration for a new Oracle home installation. These steps assume you've installed the ODAC 18.x files to the c:\oracle64 folder for 64-bit Power BI Desktop or the c:\oracle32 folder for 32-bit Power BI Desktop. Follow these steps to register Unmanaged ODP.NET:
