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)?

These are really much needed options.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

I'm flabbergasted by some of the missing capabilities, but this is one of the most egregious! So much reporting is done monthly, quarterly, annually, etc - to only have the capability to refresh daily or weekly is a big miss.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Unsure why this isn't already an option? There are many times when you need to refresh a report to show new monthly metrics

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Please add this so we can automate our monthly reports. The refresh takes a significant amount of time and we don't want to run it on a weekly basis.

Please bring us the same flexibility as SQL agent. Monthly schedule is absolute need!

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Adding the monthly option with a specific date is needed by the business. Without this option many data sets require an unnecessary daily refresh.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

This is an important feature which is currently missing. We should have a flexibility to run once a month or 4 times a month refresh depending on user selected dates/times. Please help with providing this feature.

Great idea, I would like to see a daily (with a 24 hour time selection) and monthly ( a day and time selection.

Agree with the below comments. Microsoft please make it at least as flexible as SQL Server Agent scheduling
