Hello everybody
I was using Oracle Client release12.1 and Power BI was running well until 2 days ago, when i get this window:
using SQLPlus I get the same error:
Then I changed to Oracle Client 12.2 and wasn't detected by Power BI:
but using SQLPlus the connection was enable:
I tried installing the 64-bit ODAC 12.2c Release 1 (12.2.0.1.0) Xcopy for Windows x64 but still not working, getting the same error.
Dou you know another way to solve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @Anonymous ,
you can try the ODBC connection.
But for me it seems to be a problem of the Oracle client. Maybe try to uninstall, reboot and do a fresh installation.

I had to delete everything related to Oracle Client even in REGEDIT of windows, because Power BI still did not recognize the oracle client.
Then I installed 64-bit ODAC 12.2c Release 1 (12.2.0.1.1) for Windows x64 and check the NET option as enable, and Power BI connected with Oracle Autonomous.
Thanks
