Answer 1

To count the number of staff members who participated in leadership training in cell Q9, use the COUNTIF function with structured references such as =COUNTIF(Table[Leadership Training], "Yes").

Step-by-step explanation:

In cell Q9, to count the number of staff members who have participated in leadership training, you would use the COUNTIF function. This function can be applied using structured references if you are working with tables in Excel. The formula should be structured something like this: =COUNTIF(Table[Leadership Training], "Yes")

This assumes that 'Table' is the name of your table in Excel and 'Leadership Training' is the column where participation is marked with a 'Yes' or 'No'. Structured references allow you to refer to table elements by their names, which makes the formulas more understandable and easier to maintain.

Answer 2

Uses of count function 1.0 COUNTA(range) - when COUNTA() is used, it counts the number of entries on the particular range defined. As long as the cell on the range specified is not emptye.g. Formula is COUNTA(A2:A13), The result would be 12. We have 12 non empty entries on the range
2.0 COUNTIF() - counts the entries on the specified range which satisfies the given conditione.g. Formula is COUNTIF(A2:A13,"Staff"), the result of this is '4'. Where it is specified to count cells with text "Staff" Note : "" (double quotes), denotes that the entry inside is text.
