You can assume that DIVIDENDS RECEIVED always lies within the range
J1:J100

I assumed that DIVIDENDS RECEIVED would be the bottom-most entry in
column J.
The likelihood that the actual value of DIVIDENDS RECEIVED would be
equal to or greater than 9.99E+307 is essentially zero, otherwise you
are working for the richest person in the universe! (9.99E+307 is the
largest number that excel can deal with) .
So, when the MATCH function goes looking for the row in column J
containing 9.99E+307 it doesn't find it and it returns instead the
number of elements in the range. With the range set at J:J, MATCH
returns the row containing DIVIDENDS RECEIVED, but only if DIVIDENDS
RECEIVED is the bottom-most entry in column J.

Is DIVIDENDS RECEIVED the bottom-most column J entry on your sheets?

Oops! RECEIVABLE, not RECEIVED
