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 went to Morningstar this morning with great expectations.  Instead I found a simplistic Portfolio Manager input table consisting of stock name, numer of shares, price, purchase date, and commission.  This can't possibly do the same things MSN Money did.  I thought on an earlier visit  I remembered seeing a long tome in Morningstar's minuscule type advising new Portfolio Manager users what to do and expect. I can't locate this tome again.

    You better go back to Morningstar and check again because there are probably over 200 column headings  you can pick from.  I used the same 12 or so columns that I used in MSN PM.  You have to use the "Customize My View" tab and pick and sort your columns just like in msn pm.

    Folks, even if you are 100% successful importing your PM data to Watchlist, what do you have?  Watchlist is just a simple watchlist with a few fixed columns.  It is NOT a comprehensive portfolio manager.   That's why I've all but given up on their new website.   I just won't use it anymore.  There are only 100 or so people complaining here and to Microsoft, that is a tiny minority.  Therefore, I don't see them caving to us and keeping the old PM.  If they do, that's wonderful.  I'll go back to using it and quit Morningstar.com.  However, the Morningstar site is pretty decent and comprehensive.   It certainly kicks the simpleton MSN Watchlist to smithereens.

    Thank you so much for URL for the old "real" portfolio.

    My favorite feature----total return on investment including dividends is there.

    Thank you again, and let us pray MSN does not drop the old portfolio until they get the new "JUNK" fixed.

    Please let me know if you find another suitable site.  The few I have checked out do not have the function I want-----that includes dividends in the total return.

    The portfolio migrated without data.  I have tried everything that Adriana shows.  How do I collect my data?  I also, do not know how to rename the Watchlist and there is nothing that prompts me how to do it.
