Hello Team ![]()
I am facing issues with my Power BI report ![]()
An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.'
![]()
I updated ODAC (ODAC112040Xcopy_64bit) but facing same issues/error. ![]()
Please give a quick solution. ![]()

Hi ndc_ctr,
This may caused by a mispatch between 32-bit version and 64-bit version component. What's your power bi desktop version? If you are using 32-bit version, you should install 64-bit version instead. Please refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connect-oracle-database#installing-the-oracle-clie.... In addtion, install 32-bit mode Oracle client instead of 64-bit Oracle client.

Hello Jimmy,
I do have 64 bits Power BI and doesn't help.
I do have 64 bits SQL Developer.
I do have OS Windows 10 Pro 64 bits.
Oracle client is 64-bits.
Still I am getting this error.
Please help.
ndc_ctr, did you ever resolve this? I am getting the same error with SSIS package which is trying to connect to Oracle. On-premises
