Error while using OLE DB connection

I am using an oracle native connection from Power BI Desktop. However as the data load speed is very less i found out that OLE DB connection will be faster. 

However when i try to use OLE DB connection with the same Oracle credentials , I am getting the error as 

"An entry with the same key already exists".

I have no clue what the error is.

Can you please guide ?

i couldnt resolve the issue but i added a select query with required columns and the table in the advanced section. That gave me my data.. However i still say the issue persists because i think only some versions of Power BI is giving that error.

Hi @darshaningale ,

 

Are there some columns with the same field name in your data table?

Yes, did you check your columns?
