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)?

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Why is this not available yet?
Where we can choose something like the First day of month / First Monday of the month... etc.,

Definitely should be available. Dome dashboards are monthly financial data and should not be refreshed until all finance is signed off.
Therefore having a monthly refresh would reduce the use on bandwidth and server resources.

This is urgently needed.
I couldn't justify to top management the absence of the monthly refresh.
we're currently doing it manually :(

Please do this soon. Seems like an easy change, right?

Allow for monthly, quarterly, biannual, and annual refreshes!

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

am really surprised to see this open from past 4 years, this is basic need and should come as out of box feature in PowerBI.
