datasets/reports only show latest data. Would like to be able to schedule each month to save a point-in-time snapshot of the report/dataset as it is at that time. Then I can show a client their report from this month, or last month, or one year ago. Not just the data as it is at the latest refresh

For those that use OneDrive for business to store files (and versions) You pretty much have it today ... just the ability to go back to a previous file revision within BI would be a great intermediate step

Please, we really need to be able to see trends. For example revenue forecasts... we can't tell if a date has changed. We need to easily be able to show trending.
