running 32 bit Oracle client in 64 bit mode
Dear Community:
I met below problem when connecting oracle database. Can you please help?
Power BI version: 2.81.5831.1181 64-bit (May 2020)
Oracle Client: 32-bit, 19c
Error message: 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
How to solve this problem?
Thank you!

This is caused by a mismatch between 32-bit version and 64-bit version component. Please refer to:Connect to an Oracle database with Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Please install the 64bit Oracle client. You can install it independently of the 32bit client if you want, or you can uninstall the 32bit version beforehand.
