Paginated Report Builder Oracle Data Source Connectivity issues
Can you try the older Report Builder here:

Your issue might be related to a recently found bug which does not seem to afffect the older Report Builder above.
I downloaded the older version you suggested, and, out of the box, I am still unable to connect to my Oracle database. However, I am no longer getting the 32-bit/64-bit ODAC error that I was getting before. I am now just getting the normal "unable to connect to data source" error (which could be a lot of different things - version, connection string, drivers). Thank you for the new direction. I will keep trying.
Were you successful in connecting to Oracle DB from Power BI Report Builder tool.
If so then, can you please share what had to be done to get it connected to Oracle DB?
No, unfortunately, we were unable to connect natively. I can connect using the datasources I have set up in PBI desktop, but I still would like to connect the same (easy) way we can in the desktop version. We have another reporting tool that we use, so this has been placed on the back-burner.
It's surprising that Microsoft is not providing any support on how to connect this tool to Oracle DB. I've been looking around on how to connect to Power BI Report Builder for a day now and couldn't get proper direction.
Microsoft Support... please help!
