Nice to see all that yellow, R2R! I like how you formatted it.
Right now I have a page in my spreadsheet that lists the expected total payment and the month expected to be received. Since the values are all updated from the main page containing share count and forward dividend rate, it's pretty much automatic so I can look to see what's coming in the month(s) ahead. I have a column on the main page listing the date and amount of the last increase but then you hit the problem of the Canadian banks, railroads and some REITs that increase multiple times a year. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to format it so that I can get the information you have plus what I have without making the sheet unreadable and without adding another sheet to the document. Hmmmm ...
Two questions, R2R:
Do you own the companies on the lines that have no shading such as GE or T or are they just placeholders?
I notice that you have no Consumer Staples. Is that by preference or is it just pricing hasn't been cooperating for a long time now?

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
