Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you install the right ODAC? Here is the link :

Select the right version. Here is also a similar case as yours for your reference.

Can you check that you are able to connect to oracle from the same machine you are running power bi desktop. If this from power bi desktop.

Also, make sure that the oracle client path has been set in the env variable.
