Need to add 'Hourly' to the available refresh schedule options. i.e. each hour within a 24hour day. Or allow for up to 24 times...would be nice if there were more than on the hour or half hour also.

RE: hourly refresh
The current limitation of having 8 daily refreshes does not meet the needs of every business. Granting ownership to member to do manual refreshes is not ideal and does not scale to large organization.
RE: hourly refresh
This is definitely a must, especially for providing information to consumers in each US time zone and those who need access to data overnight. Ideally, there should be an option for 24 refreshes.
RE: hourly refresh
This is a great idea. One important part of PowerBI is combining many data sources so being able to have refreshes more than a fixed 8 times to day will make this even more valuable.
Having a fixed number of times is okay, but having only 8 puts us in a box and in a 24/7 business environment it's far from ideal and greatly limits how fast we can move with this tool to wider adoption AND licensing!
RE: hourly refresh
If we have access to live data feeds from our data warehouses, it would be extremely beneficial to have live updates in the tool as well. This function becomes critical for an organization at the end of a period, whether it be weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc., when there are goals and KPIs involved.
RE: hourly refresh
If this is supposed to be the BI tool of the future we need to be able to update our data more than 8 times a day!! Honestly this makes the tool almost useless for half of our field sales reporting. We really need 48 updates a day, every half hour would be ideal for us right now.
RE: hourly refresh
We are a global company that needs to provide dashboard data at all times of the day. The limited amount of refreshes is inadequate. Highly support adding an hourly refresh schedule. Every hour of every day or every hour of days selected.
RE: hourly refresh
I'm a great fan of PowerBI. But we (your customers) really need that more than 8-time refresh daily. Every hour (24 times) is good but if can be more than that, the better.
RE: hourly refresh
We at least need to have a 12 hour window of hourly update. I.E. 14 slots of update.. 8 is an ideal situation but we work 20 hours and 4 hours of processing downtime. I think most of the global companies will need it.
RE: hourly refresh
please increase the maximum refreshes to at least 12 times a day!
