Walmart Share Profit Calculation - Where am I going wrong?

I was trying to calculate the total return on shares in supermarkets, i put together a spreadsheet to calculate profit and loss.

Everything seemed to be fine until i calculated the returns from investing $1,000 in Walmart in 2006 until the present day. i have checked my calculations but they claim an almost $20,000 return?

Can this be correct? Have they really performed that well?

Tallying up the dividends alone they have paid out nearly $9 a share since 2006 (at the time $1000 bought 2.2k shares) :shocked:
