Custom Column - Sum Quantity based on texts in another column

I have data coming in from assemble. This data has sqft of walls. I then have status of walls i.e. frame, hung and finsihed. I am trying to create a custom column that sums the sqft if the status equals a text value. The wall can have a status of hung but if it is hung it has to be framed so the custom column formula I am looking for would sum the quantity if the status = framed or hung or finished. I have made this work as a meassurment but I want it to work as a column so I have more flexability in visualizations.

 
SUMX(FILTER('Grid Data','Grid Data'[Drywall Status]="Framed"),'Grid Data'[Takeoff Quantity])

    so I have now made it this far:

    if([Drywall Status]="Framed")or([Drywall Status]="1 Side hung")or([Drywall Status]="1 side hung – 1 side top out finished")or([Drywall Status]="1 side hung & finished")or([Drywall Status]="1 side top out")or([Drywall Status]="1-Side top out & Finished")or([Drywall Status]="2 sides hung")or([Drywall Status]="2 sides hung & finished")or([Drywall Status]="2 sides hung, 1 side finished")then([Takeoff Quantity])else 0

     

    Next I need it to sum

      so I just needed to change the data type from any to number. 

       

      All is working as I hoped.
