Extend the existing email subscription feature to allow me to specify exactly *when* the email is sent out - e.g. send me the email at 2pm every Monday.

More information about the existing feature can be found here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-email-subscriptions-in-power-bi-stay-informed-when-it-matters/

Also need the ability to send more than one in the day. Would like to be able to have one at start of day and end.

Delivery timing is important but when subscription captures the report data is a key configuration. This is an important configuration for data warehouse users to manage job timing.

Also data source type needs to be considered (import v. direct query)

Capturing a table visual with an auto export of .csv attachment would be a HUGE feature!

We should also be able to set our Power BI service to a specific time zone so subscriptions are emailed at the correct time. Currently, my datasets refresh at 10:30pm local time, but I'll receive the subscription based on UTC time so my data is inaccurate.

Our customers are used to the customized delivery time functionality of SSRS. This will be a valuable addition to Power BI reports.

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

'Allow for Power BI Pro licensed users to:
- Set up distribution lists (one to many recipients).
- Specify time of day report is run/emailed
- Specify day(s) of the week (ie. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday)
- Select specific dates (ie. 1st of the month, or end of month, or 15th of month, etc.)

Think SSRS subscription features (only make it more manageable).
