You can create 2 data sources, one for Oracle & one for Excel via ODBC. This way you can for example put a table from Oracle & a table from your Excel sheet in the one report. However, I don't think you can combine them into one table in SSRS. If you want to mix the data, SSIS is probably the way to go. I would recommend creating a regular load process into SQL Server, combine your data how you want & then run the report off the combined data.
