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
First workday of the month would be better!
And weeks go from MONDAY to Sunday in Europe, not Sunday to Saturday as displayed in datepickers etc.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
For us to. We do not want to do this weekly as unnecessary and especially where there are big queries and this will be done numerous times over many entities and solutions. A waste of resources and money and we may have to revert to manual monthly updates and which is not ideal. So it would be helpful to extend the updates to monthly.

This would make running 72 BPI files monthly a whole lot easier!
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I think this should really be a basic function
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
How does this still not exist?? That should be a basic feature, so many financial and business reports are on monthly basis
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I had the same issue. The workaround is to use a scheduled cloud flow on Power automate as a trigger and the use the power bi 'Refresh a dataset' action. Guy in a cube talks about this option
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
it's highly demanded feature since 2015, pls. turn it on
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
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
