i think best way is to make pivot table for this table, and put the client name in the rows label & then "did not attend" in your values label
if you dont want to use pivot tables, try to use countif function, countif("range(did not attend"),"client name") , hope this helps

The master table will also get filtered, or put in alphabetic order, so there's no hard cell references to tie too. I have used PQ count to get me a table each for Session and DNA count with the name next 2 it. Trying to think how Index and Match might work using Table references. they always break my brain.
