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
This would be a great feature, currently we use an Azure Logic App to achieve something similar to monthly refreshes
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
My Organisation and team mainly run a monthly operating cycle with zero movement in between for the most part.I'm not sure why this hasn't been added into the core system in 10 years, but running Weekly refreshes for the sake of it is a small but pointless load on servers. It would be nice to see movem3e4nt on this issue.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
기본 중에 기본 기능이라 생각되는데 왜 월 단위 업데이트가 안되는가?
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I am surprised that such basic feature is lacking. Can we have this monthly dataset refresh feature to be available asap?
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This would be great to have. My current workaround is to create a PowerAutomate script that refreshes my PBI dataset, since PowerAutomate has the monthly option at specific days/hours. But having it built in to PBI should be the norm.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Not just monthly. Should allow the following as options - DailyHourlyEvery X Minute(s); Select 'Every X Minute(s)', then allow user to provide the value for X.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Yes, is great.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I am surprised this feature was requested 9 years ago in 2015, and it's been "under review" since 10/21/2022, still no resolution. This is such a basic request, I don't get it. I have reports refreshing daily and using processing resources that I shouldn't need to account for because I can't schedule it monthly. Weekly is not an option because first day of the month does not fall in line with a weekly refresh.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
I can't believe this is still not an option. I have data that only refreshes once a month but no capability to schedule the report to only refresh monthly. It's a waste of resources. I know there have been comments from Microsoft about using PowerAutomate to trigger refreshes, but that's yet another thing for IT to have to manage. And, if we use that strategy, how am I to determine if planned refreshes actually occurred? It's unfortunate that the scheduling functionality of the service is LESS THAN the scheduling functionality of Power BI Report Server.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Holy moly, why is this question even needing to be asked? Why is this not available?
