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

How many more votes does this need? Who *doesn't* have reports that need refreshing only monthly?

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Can't understand why this is not a thing yet, you can schedule things daily and hourly, is it really that hard to add weekly and monthly, or nth day? 2015, when this request was first put forward hint hint, was a great year, let's make 2021 and even better one by actioning this request!

This request has appeared multiple times this is just one request. Is there any progress from 2015?

Raise your hand if ANY of your reports are monthly reports. SMH.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Idea posted in 2015 and still not implemented?? How is this not yet a normal feature, when so many reportings run on a monthly basis?

Started using Power BI after using Tableau. I didn't expect the functionality to be identical, but certain basic features are totally a must. Having a monthly refresh is a basic feature to me, so would like that to be added to the product functionality.

These are really much needed options.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

I'm flabbergasted by some of the missing capabilities, but this is one of the most egregious! So much reporting is done monthly, quarterly, annually, etc - to only have the capability to refresh daily or weekly is a big miss.
