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)?

Yes, need a monthly refresh option as quite a few reports only get monthly data

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

also think about query chaching / reducing useless traffic on the gateway etc..

Would be great to specifcy in a calender view also specific dates throughout the year (as e.g. possible in the tool xtract universal for SAP BW extractions). In our company we have a precise reporitng schedule what is available when (respecting globally relvant public holidays etc. - that's why it's not everry month the 3rd calendar day, but rather the 3rd working day in my global companies definition of working day from reporting perspective).

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Is this the desktop version of power bi or the gateway that needs updating? I currently have no option for monthly refresh through a gateway

RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

Monthly is an option, I see it in my PBI Schedule? Maybe you just haven't updated for a long time.
