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
Definitely need more flexibility when scheduling, options like monthly/yearly etc. Also need more timing options. An option to have more than one schedule per dataset would be great so you could schedule daily Mon - Fri and once on Sunday.

It should required the monthly schedule
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Critical need as most financial reporting systems have month end processing jobs. Thus the lack of this feature does not allow for proper vetting of data between Power Bi and other internal reporting systems.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Can we consider this idea to be "improve the scheduled refresh features" that can incorporate other similar ideas? As well as refresh monthly, I'd like the option to refresh some sources within a dataset at one frequency, and some at another (or not at all). Or everything yearly, fortnightly (which could probably be rolled up into this main idea by having more than one day within the monthly option). Different frequencies per day would also be nice - right now we can only differentiate between doing every scheduled refresh on a day, or none of them, there's surely some demand to have a dataset refresh frequently during the working week, but just once a day at the weekend. Or refreshing at times other than just on an hour/half hour to spread gateway loads.

More refresh timing functionality such as this would be great. Thanks.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is a much needed refresh option!
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is pretty sad this basic feature isn't present 5 years later. Let's get this off the backburner please
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is much needed Option.. Please include this ASAP.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
We only need to update our Performance Metrics monthly as the report is based on a rolling 12 months. There is no way to use the daily/weekly to make the dateset auto refresh the first day of a new month so I would have to set refresh to daily which is a waste of resources. For now I set a reminder to do the refresh. I foresee we will probably have many Power BI Reports in the future that are similar. I would think this would be an easy feature to add :)

This should be a no brainer.
