You need to install the recommended provider which can be found in following links.
- For32-bit versions of Power BI Desktop: 32-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.1.0.2.4)
- For64-bit versions of Power BI Desktop: 64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64
Please take a look at this document, it should be helpful to you.

In the office I am working at, some of my collegues are having issues with the Oracle Client 64 bit. We have tried to uninstall and install but it is throwing the same error message back at them. I do not have this issue, however I have the same type of Oracle installed onto my computer. We need to be able to edit queries for reports using the data from Oracle's database. The error they are getting says " An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'The provider being used is depricated: 'System.Data.OracleClient' - and then a link for troubleshooting follows this message. In my opinion, I think that they do not have the right permissions by the company to be able to access the certain server, but if there is anything else that anyone would think of please let me know.
