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

I think this should really be a basic function

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

How does this still not exist?? That should be a basic feature, so many financial and business reports are on monthly basis

I had the same issue. The workaround is to use a scheduled cloud flow on Power automate as a trigger and the use the power bi 'Refresh a dataset' action. Guy in a cube talks about this option

Monthly refreshes. Even refreshes based on a calendar is an option in old reporting tools like Business Objects. I am surprised this isn't available in Power BI.

Yes this agree this is a big request from us - I moved over from another reporting tool which had all these options when scheduling monthly / weekly - certain days of the week etc - even a calendar based schedule.

Some of our reports really need this - I was just surprised the feature was not available..
