    1.5 hours is not normal, you should cancel the job and make sure you import csv comma delimited file or xml file

    Hi Jay,

    I am using the 2013 version of the Microsoft CRM. I am importing the file via the import data feature like in the video using a CVS file. I am not receiving an error message, however my spreadsheet list has now been importing for more than 1.5 hours. Is this nomal or competely dependent on how many leads I am trying to import?

    Kind regrds,

    Kenny

    Hi Kenny,

    Refer to these links

    - www.youtube.com/watch

    -https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-customer-center/import-accounts-leads-or-other-data.aspx

    If you are still having difficulty, can you clarify what you are are doing

    - what version of CRM are you using

    - How you are importing the file, is this from a CRM template that you re-importing into CRM

    - What errors are you getting when you try this?

    I hope this helps
