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 is critical if we are to keep using PBI... Amazing that it is not still an option. The idea was pushed through in 2015! What's going on???

Can't believe this request was asked 4 years ago and a lot of people asked the same thing and it is STILL NOT HERE!

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Why is this not available yet?
Where we can choose something like the First day of month / First Monday of the month... etc.,

Definitely should be available. Dome dashboards are monthly financial data and should not be refreshed until all finance is signed off.
Therefore having a monthly refresh would reduce the use on bandwidth and server resources.

This is urgently needed.
I couldn't justify to top management the absence of the monthly refresh.
we're currently doing it manually :(

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Please do this soon. Seems like an easy change, right?

Allow for monthly, quarterly, biannual, and annual refreshes!
