Schedule Report to run last day of month.

I need to run a report after close of business on the last day of every month. eg. at 9pm. How do I set up a schedule to do it?

can I set a workflow to run a report?

Can I add a new entry in the schedule dropdown list

Or create a formula that will trigger it to run?

There is an enhancement request for this feature going back to 2011, so I guess the powers that be don't think it's worth doing.

    Last of every month, can also be considered as Starting of the month. 

    0 0 1 * * - On the hour; 12:00am; 1st

    This executes on 1st of every month, at 12 AM

    If this doesn't satisfy you, then you probably has to create 4 schedulers.

    1. Execute at every 31st day (of these months) - 0 0 31 1,3,5,7,8,10,12 * - On the hour; 12:00am; 31st; January and March and May and July and August and October and December

    2. Execute at every 30th day (of these months) 0 0 30 4,6,9,11 * - On the hour; 12:00am; 30th; April and June and September and November

    3. Execute at 29th of Leap year of Feb - This can be ignored if the step 4 is set

    4. Execute at 28th of non leap year of Feb - 0 0 28 2 *

    This is just an idea!!
