Schedule Refresh for 1st of every month

[Avivek]

I need to schedule refresh for my flow and model on 1st of every month, i could see there is a daily and weekly for refresh. Also I found the below given link-https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/configure-scheduled-refresh#:~:text=schedule...

But I am not getting the option of manage----new schedule refresh plan, i don't know how they are getting this option.

Can someone help me with this or any other alternative if any one would know of.

Hey @Avivek ,

are you in the cloud on powerbi.com or are you on premises with the Power BI Report Server?

The link you posted is only for Power BI Report Server on premises. If you are in the cloud this option is not available.

You could in the cloud trigger a refresh with Power Automate and only start it on the first of the month. I think that would be the best solution:

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

I have this same problem - 3 years later. How has Microsoft not updated this to allow dataflows to refresh on a monthly basis?

Hi @selimovd , i needed it power bi cloud and was not aware about the power bi report server. 

But even i could see that only by power automate can i schedule a customised refresh, thankyou for the help and response.
