Try adding the columns via Field Parameters.

Hi sam_gift ,
Base on your description and screenshot, it seems like the visual can't be displayed normally when apply both RLS and OLS. Could you please get and provide the details of error message by clicking "See details" in below screenshot? Thank you. Later we will check it and make troubleshooting.
In addition, you can refer the following links to make troubleshooting and try to get the solution.

How to fix broken visuals
There might different couple of workaround to fix lets discuss one of the best one i.e. using Field parameter in visual instead of using direct measure.
Scenario 1: Suppose you have two measures Discount and Sales. Under OLS particular group of people are not allowed to see sales. If we use OLS and put both measures individually it will break complete visual, it should show only Discount.To overcome this scenario make a field parameter of both Discount and Sales. Use parameter in visual instead of individual measure. Discount and Sales should be measures.
Scenario 2: If you need to restrict a particular column in a visual (direct column or calculated column), using Field Parameters may not be sufficient.
This scenario depends on use case such as if you can use measure instead of using Column/Calculated Column using Min, Max , etc of value and follow same path as scenario 1.Best Regards
The original question was for columns, not for measures. OLS affects columns (and tables) and doesn't really relate to measures.
You're right, the original question was about columns. I was just jumping in because I have a similar issue, but with measures instead. I was hoping to get some help since the context felt somewhat related. I'm using OLS on the underlying columns, and while the solution with parameters works fine in Power BI Desktop, I'm running into a problem in the Power BI Service. When I have a visual that combines affected (by the OLS) and unaffected measures, instead of just showing the unaffected ones, the entire visual breaks.

I don't think you can combine OLS with measure based field parameters.
