Decrypt Data with Live Connection

Hi,
I am working on a project where we show some personal sensitive data to the people. Data is encrypted in the source DB and the encrypted data passes to power Bi via Azure Analysis servie cubes.
At the power Bi, its a live connection to the cube and the data is displayed to the respective people with row level security enabled.
 
However, we need to decrypt the sensitive information just before showing it to the client (probably at the power Bi end). Can you help us on how to acheive this?
 
Regards,
Hema

Hi Amit,
