    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)?

    Please update this... it would be helpful we could specify not only the daily, weekly but also bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly etc. Allow the users to select frequency (daily, weekly and monthly) and the number of repetitions (enter an integer for the selected frequency, 2-weeks for every 2 weeks, starting from selected date)

    Would be incredibly important, also to send monthly updates to users of reports.

    Daily and Weekly is pointless, c'mon Microsoft

    '+1 for this also - seems so long to wait for monthly, quarterly, fiscal periods, yearly scheduled reports.

    RE: Add "monthly" as a scheduled refresh option

    Any updates? This is an absolute MUST HAVE for organizations. Weekly and daily reports are too frequent for end users. We need to have a variety of refresh options. This is something that other competing tools such as tableau can do. Come on Power BI!
