Extend the existing email subscription feature to allow me to specify exactly *when* the email is sent out - e.g. send me the email at 2pm every Monday.

More information about the existing feature can be found here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-email-subscriptions-in-power-bi-stay-informed-when-it-matters/

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Hi there. New feature very powerful and helpful in our project a lot. We have a problem with a subscription in "Attribute slicer" which was exported from the market. This slicer is blank. But when I export it from PowerBI desktop - everything is fine. Thank you

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Hi there. This is such a useful feature! Would it be possible for you to also introduce a "monthly" subscription option (i.e., per calendar month)? It's quite common for reports to be sent out on a MONTHLY basis but this seems difficult to reconcile with the daily / weekly options currently available. Would really love to see this added....

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

to have this respecting bookmarks is a good idea, I would second that, I couldnt use this feature without it as I use them heavily to help customise reports for many customers

Chris Finlan,
Any chance a future update to this new subscription feature could allow the subscription to be based off a Bookmark?
To consolidate report tabs, I use a few bookmarks on a report. But now if I want more than 1 bookmark on 1 report page to be within a subscription, I would have to break them out to separate pages.

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Can you please also send report data out in .csv format; PNG for data is absolutely pointless!

RE: Allow customization of email subscription schedule

Absolutely imperative to have clear visibility, operations running 24hrs a day need to be able to email out info at the end of Day shift and Night shift
