    I should have mentioned... I had already done that.

    I installed  ODAC112040Xcopy_64bit.zip

    I already had instant client 11 installed prior, both 32 & 64 bit, and my PATH had the 64 bit folder before the 32 bit folders.

    After I installed ODAC, into a completely new folder (c:\Oracle), I put c:\Oracle and c:\Oracle\bin into the front of my PATH and removed the prior folders from the path.

      I'm striking the same error.  It seems like an obvious bug to me that you can navigate and preview the data using whatever drivers, but then you cant generate a visual.

       

      dennisr - did those steps your described in your last post solve your problem?

        I just didn't have time to continue playing with it, as I was just evaluating PowerBI.  So, I just did "Import" rather than direct.  I stil suspect it's related to some 32 vs 64 bit issue.
