Change any row to match what you held at the time — the number at the top fills them all. Shares bought on or after the ex-dividend date do not receive that payment.
Over the longer run: from FY2015 to FY2025 WHSmith’s dividend went 39.4p → 17.3p, so the income on an unchanged holding changed −56.1% — an average of −7.9% a year over 10 years. Past changes are not a guide to future ones. See every year.
