    datasets/reports only show latest data. Would like to be able to schedule each month to save a point-in-time snapshot of the report/dataset as it is at that time. Then I can show a client their report from this month, or last month, or one year ago. Not just the data as it is at the latest refresh

    Key requirement for any data analysis. Ideal would be the snapshot concept. A temporary measure would be guidance on how to do this using existing facilities - sure it "must" be possible ??

    It would be extremely useful to capture a dataset at a specific point in time which can be scheduled automatically
