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)?

Monthly refreshes. Even refreshes based on a calendar is an option in old reporting tools like Business Objects. I am surprised this isn't available in Power BI.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Yes this agree this is a big request from us - I moved over from another reporting tool which had all these options when scheduling monthly / weekly - certain days of the week etc - even a calendar based schedule.

Some of our reports really need this - I was just surprised the feature was not available..

This is holding up our efforts to automate legacy reporting within our organization. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Please get this done

Not to mention there is no such thing like first day of the month.

How many votes does it take to get this done? I've found other requests for this same thing.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Has there been any acknowledgment from the product team that this is at least in the backlog?

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

I have the ability to do monthly but need to add some date logic to this as well. Boss wants a certain report on the first Monday following the last Friday of the month. Right now can only do hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and specify a day of the month.
