Measures: Question about my formula to add activities data?

I've been asking questions about formulas that work to create OPC Measures. Got good feedback from this message board and my SRs to Oracle.

Now have a half dozen measures that work and provide data I need quickly after getting a GC P6 schedule update.

Now, I want to start playing around with data starting with an easy calculation...

I just want to add activities "In Progress" plus activities "Not Started":

Here is what I built, which does not work after Recalculating measures.

Target:

count(object.Activity_activityStatus == "In Progress" + object.Activity_activityStatus == "Not Started")

Actual:

count(object.Activity_itemCode, object.Activity_activityStatus == "In Progress" + object.Activity_activityStatus == "Not Started")
