Actually it's working fine for me on multiple machines.  The key seems to be installing and configuring that 64-bit ODAC client driver on all machines.

Hi,

 

I faced same issue now. I have ODAC 12c installed, and my Power BI desktop version is Version: 2.42.4611.901 64-bit (January, 2017). In Power BI desktop. I can view data in Edit Query windows, but when I added to visual, I got error The managed provider 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client' could not be instantiated. Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. I saw you solve the issue by configure ODAC, here is what I have ODAC component installed. Not sure missed anything. 

 

 

Appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

Tom
