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

RE: Allow for point-in-time snapshots for reports/dataset

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
