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)?

I work in revenue cycle for a large healthcare organization. Revenue cycle reports and scorecards come out monthly. A monthly refresh would be extremely beneficial.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Please add more frequency features. I have data sets that ideally need to be snapshotted once a month, because they are constantly moving. I would like to have the ability to have this snapshotting ability within Power BI, to remove the need to save off monthly data sets.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Please suggest when can this feature be available as our Executive reports are specific to refresh once in a month.

Really cannot believe this isn't a basic feature?

Power BI Reporting Server has many more options to manage this. At least provide similar feature set for app.powerbi.com.

This function needs to be added. Other reporting platforms have the option for monthly, or even custom calendar creation.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

It would be really useful to have a monthly refresh option. It seems like such a small thing that doesn't require much work to add, but would add a lot of value to a lot of users. Please consider adding it :)

I need to be able to refresh datasets for some of my reports on the 9th of every month.

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Hi Microsoft, it appears that this has yet to be considered critical. I'm in the process of reviewing the source of reporting for the entire organisation and we need end of month reporting.
This has effectively rendered Power BI as not fit for purpose.
The fact that this doesn't have this is crazy. We don't have the resourcing to be manually updating reports consistently. When can we get an ETA on this?
Sincerely,
Frustrated Power BI User
