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
Any News on this? We are going to use Power Automate but it is going to be difficult for some of the users as they will not be able to directly see the refresh.Also as someone else mentioned - what about stopping a dataset refresh? Thanks
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Fantastic idea. I would suggest also to add the option to choose whether the "scheduled refresh" should stop trying to refresh after 4 attempts.

Hi is this request still under review?
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.
