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)?

MS SQL offers many scheduling options. I am struggling to have them matched in PBI. Please add the monthly refresh option

FYI, you could realise this pretty easily using a Microsoft Flow to trigger the refresh. That being said, this shouldn't be difficult to implement in the PowerBI service.

Absolute must. Not sure why this wasn't available out of the box while daily/weekly is.

Must be a very simple issue, to add. Now, to have a monthly refresh I need to run it daily. Isn't that a waste of resources?

Much needed. This is a big issue for a few recent report we have setup. Now someone has to be assigned to go in monthly and update each report - takes a while with tons of data and formulas behind each. And if that person is unavailable we need a backup, as the report is critical and timely.
