Create a dividend income tracker with Google Sheets by simply using pivot tables

As my investment strategy is to buy stocks that pay regular and stable dividends during a long-term period, I need to monitor my dividends income by stocks, by months, and by years, so that I can answer quickly and exactly the following questions: How much dividend did I receive on a given month and a given year? How much dividend did I receive for a given stock in a given year? Have a given stock's annual dividend per share kept increasing gradually over years? Have a given stock's annual dividend yield been stable over years? In this post, I explain how to create a dividend tracker for a stock investment portfolio with Google Sheets by simply using pivot tables.

As an investor, it is important to know the latest state of the stock portfolio. We need to know what stocks currently owned in the portfolio, how many shares for each one, how much dividend or gain contributed so far by each stock, etc. As we have registered stock transactions in a spreadsheet with Google Sheets, we can easily have the latest update from the stock portfolio by using pivot tables and GOOGLEFINANCE function.
