    Pro users have the ability to schedule refresh for daily (intra day) and weekly. For some datasets, monthly is the right cadence. Can we have a scheduled refresh option that is Monthly (and lets us choose which day of the month the refresh is to occur)?

    Any updates on this? It's been almost 3 years now.

    I also have a specific report that we want to refresh on the 1st of each month.

    I'm really surprised this is not an option. We're considering replacing our current BI analytics & reporting software (not Power BI currently) and this would be a significant barrier to us choosing Power BI.

    I have a specific metric report that only needs to be updated every month, so a monthly refresh option would be a huge asset to Power BI.

    I just published a report and went in to schedule a monthly refresh aaaaand... no. I can't believe that this isn't already an option.

    RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

    This is a much required feature as most of our reports need to be refreshed monthly and on a specific day. There is no point in refreshing reports weekly or daily just to automate the process.

    I see that this idea was posted more than 2 years back.
    What is the status of this request?

    Yes please! One of our SQL servers is not so fast so I don't want to steal resources more frequently than month unless I need to.

    Yes, please. We need this for datasets where we need a snapshot at a point in time each month.
