Dividends received is just one of the 100 difference trial lines and

column K to return a value, is it?

No, it's looking for the bottom-most entry in column J.

Your original formula...

=INDIRECT(A1&"!J24")

refers to column J and you said that only the row changes. I stuck
with column J and assumed that DIVIDENDS RECEIVABLE would be the
bottom-most column J entry, so I added the MATCH function to include
the row number of the bottom-most column J entry.

How does column K fit in to the scheme of things?
