I have 2 sheets, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.
In Sheet 1 is a list of Vacancies in one cell and next to it is the Name of the person who has those Vacancies.
In Sheet 2 I am trying to find the TOTAL amount of Vacancies that each person listed has using a Formula
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!B:B,A2)
The only problem is that it needs to count in Sheet 1 how many vacancies a specific person has.
eg: it shows John has 3 vacancies when he should have 11.
Added a SUMIF attempt

The issue is that you should use SUMIF()
instead of COUNTIF()
as per the comments above, though since you are not using Excel but Google Spreadsheets, this opens up other options (note, the two look alike but are actually very different).
You could try utilize QUERY()
:
Formula in D1
:
=QUERY(A1:B,"Select B, Sum(A) where A is not null group by B label Sum(A) 'Total Vacancies'")
