French term or phrase: DV en HMSM
Hi,

I am translating a newsletter regarding the launch of a new line of mints in France and I am struggling with the following phrase:

En juillet, nous avons attaint une DV de 87 en HMSM.

The previous sentence is as follows:

La produit a ete liste tres rapidement dans les points de vente, grace a la force de XXXX et la mobilisation sur le terrain.

I can't find a reference to HMSM anywhere, can anybody help?

Thank you.

weighted distribution for hypermarkets and supermarkets


Explanation:
DV = distribution valeur = weighted distribution
HMSM = must be hypermarkets / supermarkets

I'm not entirely sure if using "xxx for xxx" is the right formula though...

neutral  B D Finch: How do you make it a "weighted distribution"? Wouldn't that be a "répartition pondérée"?//The "lexique" you reference is mistaken. That is not a "weighted distribution".
