    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.

    Highly needed to make Power BI a proper tool for Production Data coming from the control systems.

    RE: hourly refresh

    Yes please, we need every 15 minutes refresh for about 6 reports per day.

    RE: hourly refresh

    Correct, eight refreshes a day with any member able to refresh does not scale to large organizations.

    At the very least, please implement a solution that limits refreshes to roles as a security feature.

    Thank you.

    RE: hourly refresh

    We need to be able to refresh the data hourly. I am wondering if I could trigger a Data Refresh from the API, so that once my ETL completes I can trigger an update.

    RE: hourly refresh

    I also am in favor of this request; especially the second part: "more than on the hour or half hour also".

    I think we should be allowed to set our own custom time for dataset refreshes and not be locked into on the hour or half hour. It seems like it would be a small and quick UI change to allow the user to type in the specific time they want. I don't think there would need to be any big code change - should be a quick win. I don't see any advantage to locking users in to only being able to use on the hour or half hour.

    This would be beneficial because we would be able to stagger out our dataset refreshes instead of having to pile them up on the hour or half hour. Would be less load on the server and would reduce chance of resource contention and/or table locks.

    RE: hourly refresh

    Need to have more flexible refresh options to be able to set more than 8 refreshes // upto one refresh per 15 minutes and not in increments of 30 mins but any mins hour as desired
