Identify and add formula - can it be done?

I have Excel 2002 and know how to do basic formulas. I'm just not
sure if this can be done
I created a time log with columns labeled:
Time In, Time Out, Total Time (C16:C36), Activity, and Priority
(I16:I36).
All 3 time cells are formatted as "1:30 PM" and the Total Time
formula is: =TEXT(B16-A16,"h:mm"). That works just fine.
Numbers will be entered in the Priority column cells, anywhere from 1
to 6.
Can Excel identify a specific number in the Priority column, let's
say all cells containing number 1, and then add the corresponding
times from the Total Time column? So all cells containing the number
1 (I16:I36) will be matched to their total times in (C16:C36) and
those times will be added up?
Yes, you can use the SUMIF function. It should be something like this:
=SUMIF(I16:I36,1,C16:C36), but it should be better to modify yor formula in
C16:C36; it should be:
=B16-A16 and copy down till C36.
Then you have to format C16:C36 with custom formatting: "[h]:mm" (without
quotes). You have to use the samecustom format in the cell where you use the
SUMIF.

Hope I helped you.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
