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.

- s_eadNew MemberSince PBI refreshes every 30 minutes, the total number should be 48 times. Anyways, 8 times is way too low, especially since we are dealing with multiple times zones. It is causing us a world of hurt :( Is this actually a complex ask? if it is a simple number change somewhere in the code from 8 to 24 or 48 then can we get this soon please? :))) Thank You.
- jwestenskow1New Memberwe absolutely need an 'Hourly' refresh option!
- afernando1New Memberplease increase the maximum refreshes to at least 12 times a day!

We at least need to have a 12 hour window of hourly update. I.E. 14 slots of update.. 8 is an ideal situation but we work 20 hours and 4 hours of processing downtime. I think most of the global companies will need it. - matthew_kellne1New MemberWe are a global company that needs to provide dashboard data at all times of the day. The limited amount of refreshes is inadequate. Highly support adding an hourly refresh schedule. Every hour of every day or every hour of days selected.
- tjtsumawangNew MemberI'm a great fan of PowerBI. But we (your customers) really need that more than 8-time refresh daily. Every hour (24 times) is good but if can be more than that, the better.
- chad_freemanNew MemberThis is a great idea. One important part of PowerBI is combining many data sources so being able to have refreshes more than a fixed 8 times to day will make this even more valuable. Having a fixed number of times is okay, but having only 8 puts us in a box and in a 24/7 business environment it's far from ideal and greatly limits how fast we can move with this tool to wider adoption AND licensing!
- MNGuy183Regular VisitorIf this is supposed to be the BI tool of the future we need to be able to update our data more than 8 times a day!! Honestly this makes the tool almost useless for half of our field sales reporting. We really need 48 updates a day, every half hour would be ideal for us right now.
- jerry_freemanNew MemberIf we have access to live data feeds from our data warehouses, it would be extremely beneficial to have live updates in the tool as well. This function becomes critical for an organization at the end of a period, whether it be weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc., when there are goals and KPIs involved.
- michelle_wareNew MemberThis is definitely a must, especially for providing information to consumers in each US time zone and those who need access to data overnight. Ideally, there should be an option for 24 refreshes.
