Hi @issadaas ,
Based on the information you have provided, you can troubleshoot the error by following the steps below:

  1. Verify that the Oracle client is properly installed on your system.The Oracle client should be compatible with the version of Power BI Desktop being used.
  2. Ensure that the user account running Power BI Desktop has the required permissions to access the Oracle database.
  3. Try connecting to the Oracle database using Power BI Desktop on another computer to see if the problem is specific to the current setup.

I also recommend you to read this article which might be helpful in solving your problem:
