You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com  pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.

Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.

Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports

Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist

Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).

If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.

If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.

Thank you!

    I checked the updated article and have removed all but one watchlist, the remove icon is always greyed out on the last remaining watchlist so one cannot delete them all, then removed all stocks from the remaining watchlist so that I had not only less than 75 total stocks across all new watchlists but 0 stocks. Then tried the import of an account with 850 stocks in it and get the same message I have always been getting:

    There was a problem migrating your watchlists. Please try again in few minutes.

    Although the article states that the new watchlist cannot have more than 75 total stocks across all new watchlists in order for an import to complete would you please confirm whether or not this also means that an account in the old portfolio manager one wants to import can have at most 75 stocks, if one has 0 stocks across all their new watchlists, or less than 75, if one has 1 or more stocks in one or more of the new watchlists as the article does not address this.

    I suspect this is the case and the cause of the problem for me and other users that have old Portfolio Manager accounts with more than 75 stocks but it would be helpful to get confirmation so that we can start making alternative plans should there be no solution in the next 2 days, other than to start deleting stocks in our old Portfolio Manage accounts.

    Have you tried getting with Morningstar's tech people?  After I made clear that 3 day turnaround wasn't acceptable, they were pretty helpful, although I didn't put this particular question to them.

    With the old portfolio manager only accessible for 3 more days, I wanted to follow up again to find out if there was any update from the product team regarding those of us that have accounts that will not import?

    Hi MorningSleeper,

    I have notified the product team about your question but they want to make sure you have followed the latest steps in the updated article and confirm that you didn't have more than 75 items across all of your existing Watchlists and that you deleted existing Watchlists before attempting to re-import.

    Thanks,

    Adriana

    I have entered my portfolio into Morningstar which does everything I need except I don't like that the consolidated portfolio puts all positions together and I loose the individual accounts. Has anyone found a way to get all the accounts on one page with a grand total in Morningstar?

    I would also like to know if there is a way to do this.  Pass it on if you get an answer.  Thanks
