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

Any updates? This is an absolute MUST HAVE for organizations. Weekly and daily reports are too frequent for end users. We need to have a variety of refresh options. This is something that other competing tools such as tableau can do. Come on Power BI!

This seems very overdue. +1 for Monthly Option

Please add the option to refresh monthly, quarterly, but also every second week would make sense!

This seems like a simple basic request.

This is a much needed feature! I'm really shocked why this is not implemented yet.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

My organization needs to update monthly. On the first day of the month or first business day of the month.

Any update on this?? I've needed this since the first time I set up a scheduled refresh. Weekly refreshes put unnecessary stress on our servers!
