Oracle Database connection Issue

[rsmhema1993]

Hi all,

When I was trying to connect Oracle database from my power BI Desktop account, I am getting the following error.

I installed Oracle client 11g 64-bit in my local machine. Its asking me to install Oracle Client Driver for connecting remote DB. I dont find any link for installing only that oracle driver for 64-bit oracle client i find only the whole package. Can anyone please help me with this issue? If you guys find any link specific to that Oracle client driver, Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

@rsmhema1993,

What version of Power BI Desktop do you install, 32-bit or 64-bit?

For 32-bit version of Power BI Desktop, use the following link to download and install Oracle client driver:
32-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.1.0.2....

For 64-bit version of Power BI Desktop, use the following link to download and install Oracle client driver:
64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64

@rsmhema1993,

It is recommended to install the latest version of Oracle client driver.

Do you install 64-bit Power BI Desktop in your machine? If so, just download 64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64  from this link and install it on your machine. After that, you should be able to connect to the Oracle 11g database from Power BI Desktop.
