Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option
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)?

Weekly and Daily just doesn't cut it anymore. Even Reporting Services had en similar function to schedule by calendar. Please add this cause judging by the votes, it is much needed.

I need to do something that's scheduled monthly, so this is more or less a must have for me now

What are you waiting for... :( This should be an easy fix on power bi service.
I have a bunch of exec who needs dashboards and reports ran only monthly.
Many thanks

How did the Monthly option get missed out. Until this feature is available, we need a resource to refresh date everymonth!

MS SQL offers many scheduling options. I am struggling to have them matched in PBI. Please add the monthly refresh option

FYI, you could realise this pretty easily using a Microsoft Flow to trigger the refresh. That being said, this shouldn't be difficult to implement in the PowerBI service.

Absolute must. Not sure why this wasn't available out of the box while daily/weekly is.

Must be a very simple issue, to add. Now, to have a monthly refresh I need to run it daily. Isn't that a waste of resources?

Much needed. This is a big issue for a few recent report we have setup. Now someone has to be assigned to go in monthly and update each report - takes a while with tons of data and formulas behind each. And if that person is unavailable we need a backup, as the report is critical and timely.

This would be great to have. I need my data to refresh on a specific date of the month and this is not possible by weekly selection

+1 should be a standard including the option to always plan at working day 1,2,3,4, etc.

I would be great to have a refresh that you can set for specific monthly date, weekly, start of the month, end of the month etc. Weekly is great but that's a week from the date i start the schedule, not a set day and this is what's needed.

A scheduled refresh using the outlook calendar scheduling tool functions would be best. Not all reports need such regular refreshing and some have really irregular needs which are not met by the current scheduling tools.
