Masking data in Power BI for data imported from csv file
Hello
I am using a csv file as data source and would like to mask few columns. Could you please help me with the steps.

Hi Anonymous ,
If you will publish the report to Service, I think you could hide the columns after creating visuals. However, in this way, the columns just hide in report view. We can still view the data in data view.
Report view in DesktopData view in DesktopIn Service
If you don't want someone to view your data, you could try to set Row-Level security(RLS).
If the ways can't help you, maybe you need to vote up the idea to get the feature fixed.

You can go to Power Query Editor then it will open all yours columns and fields. Then select any columns which you want to mark or remove and right click on that column and select remove option.
Please give Kudos to this effort and mark it as a solution if it helps!
