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)?

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Capturing month end data from a number of external sources outside our direct control is absolutely essential for our C-Suite
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I don't think anyone from Microsoft is looking at these comments! And also, who on the earth from Microsoft has approved the idea of not including "MONTHLY REFRESH" option?
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
How do we get this more attention?
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Power Automate is fine in a pinch but leads to confused/concerned users because in the workspace it appears that the dataset isn't scheduled to refresh. A monthly refresh schedule is a basic, basic feature that should have shipped with Power BI years ago.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
BEFORE YOU VOTE: Have you tried scheduling the monthly refresh using Power Automate? I've been using Power Automate for all of my unconventional refresh scheduling needs for over a year with no problems. You should give it a try!
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Agree, this is needed. For now, as an alternative, you can schedule this in Power Automate, the recurrence trigger provides all the flexibility that you need.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Completely agree with prior requests. Monthly cadence is extremely useful.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Needs to happen. Why does microsoft concentrate of the flashy stuff no one uses and neglect the basics?
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is a really simple idea and needs implementation.We provide numerous reports where the data is ingested weekly or monthly at sets days in the week or month and this would be a great way to better manage the refresh process for those dashboards rather than run a daily refresh 29 times on a static data set for no real reason.

Agendar atualização por mês.Permitir ao usuário escolher:- "primeiro dia do mês",- "último dia do mês" ou- "inserir o dia desejado do mês para ocorrer a atualização (1,2,...31)".Com este procedimento, será possível a atualização precisa uma vez por mês e evitará o processamento desnecessário do banco de dados.xxxxxSchedule update per month. Allow user to choose:- "first day of the month",- "last day of the month" or- "enter the desired day of the month for the update to occur (1,2,...31)". With this procedure, it will be possible to update accurately once a month and will avoid unnecessary processing of the database.
