    I have answered my own question, I was trying to put the expression in a DataSource that did not have the DiskReadsPerSec (I was using a DataSource that had been cloned and applied to a specific client).

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your reply. I have used DiskReadsPerSec+DiskWritesPerSec and DiskReadsPerSec + DiskWritesPerSec (added spaces between the +). The first one I used before posting this question. Both give the same error "The expression is incorrect (there may be a syntax error or the use of non-existent datapoints)" Based on what I read it should just be the DataPoint1 + DataPoint2. Thats why I am confused on why it is not working.
