Scheduled refresh at custom time

[HarryBailey]

Hi all, On scheduled refresh on PowerBI, it only gives me the option of at the hour and 30 minutes last the hour. I would like my data to refresh at 8:10 every morning. 8:00 am would be too early and 8:30 means an necessary 20 minute wait. Is this possible please?

@HarryBailey Yes you can type in that field or use Power BI REST API. However, be aware that the times you specify are like +/- up to an hour in the Service if you do not have Premium. This is because it is shared capacity.

Hi there, I definitely can't type in that field unfortunately. Tried double clicking, typing while highlighted etc. Seems such a bizarre limitaion...

@HarryBailey  Unfortunately you cannot change the time using dropdown. You may need to write a PowerShell script and automate it accordingly.

see if this helps
