Often it is required to schedule data sources based on certain business needs.

One of those is the flexibility to schedule a refresh on a given time.

For instance, we have tables in the DW that are refreshed once a month, and that refresh is done during the overnight of the first day of the month.

In PowerBI we can't "say" to refresh a data source based on such requirement. Or we schedule it daily (which doesn't makes sense because the data is the same) or we need to manually run it.

Yes, we'd like to refresh only once a month, on a specific working day. Currently, all I can see are daily or weekly choices.
