Oracle.DataAccess.Client could not be instantiated

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I started working with Power BI Desktop couple days ago. My data source is Oracle DB.

I'm usiong Power BI Desktop x64 and I installed 64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64.

I connected to my Oracle and created basic model. I used DirectQuery as Storage options. Everything seems to be ok, when I'm creating a model.

But... when I saved it and tried to open it again it doesn't work at all. I receive an error:

When I'm connecting to Oracle DB and trying to add new tables I also receive this error mesaage.

I'm even more confised because when creating new document from scratch it works.

Could you please help me?

Best regards,

Szymon

Please refer to the similar thread in exchange forumn, this issue should be related to the ODAC Driver.

Thank you @v-yuta-msft for your quick response.

I did all steps that are described in the link you pasted. Unfortunately I still have the same problem.

Any other ideas? 😞

Moreover I have this kind of error only when I'm using directQuery storage.

When the tables are loaded I can work with them, save my Power BI model, close it down, open once again and it works.

DirectQuery doesn't work. What is wrong?

I am having the same exact problem.
Did you manage to find any solution about it?
