Hello,
I'm working on a market research statistics document (services evaluation), and nobody I know (including some French professionals) seem to be able to decypher this one. It's just a graph in a chart, and it's measured in percents. If it's any help, the graphs go like this:
Zone :
Pays :
2008 : Eff / Retour / Poids
2007 : Eff / Retour / Poids
Sté/pond 2008 : (for example) 17%
Any ideas what this "Sté/pond 2008" thing might mean? Thank you very much!

Can't help with the Sté part, but I think it's a reasonable bet that the 'pond' bit = pondéré = weighted
It would probably help to know a bit just what this is all in aid of, and if there is any correlation between the figures?
I guess the 'poids' is almost certainly going to be 'weighting factor', if that helps to establish some kind of corelation?
As for Sté, i would have expected it to have been 'société' — could that make any sense if it were, for example, weighted figures per company across a whole group of companies?
A bit more of your wider context might help us to figure it out!

company/weighting
Can't think of anything else than société/pondération (i.e. pondération pour chaque entreprise en 2008 = 17 %). Just a guess, though.

: Might be "just a guess", but my immediate thought was exactly the same - as was lundy's (below).
