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

am really surprised to see this open from past 4 years, this is basic need and should come as out of box feature in PowerBI.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Can we please have an option for monthly report scheduled refresh, to compliment the daily and weekly schedule. It would be most useful.
Cheers

I see that this was raised almost 4 years ago and it still isn't implemented. I can't believe it

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

An obvious oversight is the lack of a monthly option for data refreshes.

Yes monthly schedule is the most required feature.
Current workaround that we do is , we have MS Flow that refreshes the dataset on monthly basis on a particular day.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Monthly reports are a staple requirement of our business, being able to schedule (rather than manually run) many reports would be a huge enhancement

Please add Monthly (day of month) refresh option.
