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).

Yes, this is needed. I'm going to look at some tips / workaround out there to achieve it, but it is needed. To prevent multiple datasets / queries.

RE: Column Level Security for reports

this is really more important to restrict the data at column level especially in Marketing region.

Request Microsoft to implement this ASAP.

RE: Column Level Security for reports

We need Column level security to avoid multiple datasets for each department in an organization, and also to protect the sensitive data from unauthorized users.

This would be required to have a single PowerBi data set that covers the organisation
