Ability to define rules at column level, to control the data fields available to different roles (e.g. employee salary visible to the users in finance roles only, while other employee details visible to other department roles).

Thanks for all your votes! I'm pleased to say this feature is shipping in the February 2021 update: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave2/power-bi/object-level-security

This is a must-have. We did it with SSAS multi-dimensional cube and it's very disappoint that this feature is not available in tabular model.

Must needed feature for enabling column security.
Power BI visualizations are breaking even when column security is implemented in SSAS Hoping to have the feature implemented to enable Column security at Power BI and supporting SSAS Column security implementation

Absolutely needed! We, like so many others, have this requirement and are now forced to create and maintain new reports. This is a huge drain on manpower.
RLS is great! Let's have it for columns!

Very needed so we do not need to go into power query every time to copy table and remove columns. This will also save huge amounts of time, not having to create the same report again with the filtered table.
