Oracle Database connection issue

[AndreiaCassanha]

I have had problems connecting to Oracle, the following message appears: An error occurred while reading data from the provider: 'The provider being used is obsolete: 'System.Data.OracleClient'. Visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376   to install the supported provider.'

I've already installed ODAC, configured GAC, followed several community posts, but without success.

Hi @AndreiaCassanha ,

Please try:

1. Download and install latest ODAC from oracle as listed .
2. Uninstall all Power BI application/s installed via MS Store previously
3. Go to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ , choose Advanced download options(do NOT install via MS Store!) , then download x64/x86 as applicable and install.
