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
More refresh timing functionality such as this would be great. Thanks.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is a much needed refresh option!
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is pretty sad this basic feature isn't present 5 years later. Let's get this off the backburner please
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
This is much needed Option.. Please include this ASAP.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
We only need to update our Performance Metrics monthly as the report is based on a rolling 12 months. There is no way to use the daily/weekly to make the dateset auto refresh the first day of a new month so I would have to set refresh to daily which is a waste of resources. For now I set a reminder to do the refresh. I foresee we will probably have many Power BI Reports in the future that are similar. I would think this would be an easy feature to add :)

This should be a no brainer.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
Needs doing, have used Power Automate as a short cut and works fine.
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
The PBI dev team must have been fired. Simple stuff such as this should have been introduced years ago. Please MSoft, Support your users....
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
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!
RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
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!
