What does it mean ?? Please explain what you want to achieve and what are criteria.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Are you wanting a dynamic list of names which is updated if a new name appears in your data?
see attached workbook


on sheet "HolidayCount" ("Names" is a named range)
Array formula in A2 copied down - entered with {SHIFT} {CTRL} {ENTER}

Formula:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Names, MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:A1, Names), 0)),"")

Formula in B2 copied down

Formula:

=IF(A2>"A",COUNTIFS(Names,A2,Data,"H"),"")

The suggestion from @davsth is a good one too
Attached is earlier workbook with the Pivot Table option included


Edit
I omitted making the range dynamic - that could be easily achieved by making the source range an Excel "Table" before creating the pivot table
