    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)?

    This should be a no brainer.

    The PBI dev team must have been fired. Simple stuff such as this should have been introduced years ago. Please MSoft, Support your users....

    Just like previous comments, I cant believe that this feature hasn't been implemented. Probably because of the license model, which are based on data consumption. MS know the need for this and by implementing that feature would mean less income probably.

    It's an essential feature to have in reporting!

    This must be such a simple thing to introduce and yet this idea has been sitting here for years without being actioned. Please bring in this feature!

    Wow - this was suggested in 2015 and STILL hasn't been implemented....?! Monthly refresh is essential - I can't believe it wasn't added at the same time as Daily and Weekly was

    Great idea and while you are at it, please also add 'hourly' as this is a premium options but has to be added manually 24 times under daily.

    Hi , Power BI service allows only weekly and daily schedule refreshes at present , it would be useful if we have a monthly schedule on the 1st day of each month.

    Thanks,

    That would be extremely useful, some reports need to be refreshed only once a month or even once a quarter!
