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

This is a CRITICAL component of any analysis... How things change over time.

A critical component to data analysis. It's so important to know how things change over time.

I really need this feature as well. I would also like to have an ability to compare snapshots.
