@Joerobert,

In my first reply, I am using SQL Server data source.

I test the connection to Oracle in April update of Power BI Desktop, in import mode, filter argument is not case sensitive.

However, in DirectQuery mode, filter argument is case sensitive, which inherits the "case sensitive" mode from Oracle, I execute a simple query in Oracle SQL Developer and find that the query will not return any values when I specify "COMPLETE" value.

@Joerobert,

I am unable to reproduce your issue in April version of Power BI Desktop. I note that you are using Directquery mode, what is your data source and what is your Power BI Desktop version?

That is correct, i am pulling in data from an oracle database. Also I am using version: 2.56.5023.1021 64-bit (March 2018). There is a one month delay from when the PBI updates are pushed out across my organization so I will attempt to replicate this again later this month.

 

thanks
