Norwegian term or phrase: vektet for omsetning
Context: sales of medicines in Norway compared with other countries.

"Prisene på de 50 mest solgte patentbeskyttete legemidlene i Norge er sammenlignet med prisene i Legemiddelverkets referanseland ved å beregne en prisindeks

- vektet for omsetning (pris x volum) i Norge for en 12 måneders periode frem til mars 2007 "

"weighted for sales volume"?

revenue-weighted
Explanation:
Omsetning is revenue, i.e. unit price times no. of units sold. The full expression becomes 'revenue-weighted price index', which any first-year medical statistics student should understand. Me, I don't get it.

disagree  David Siebert: I think that weighted for sales volume is probably correct. The point here is the comparison, not the price.

  -> I agree that my suggestion doesn't exactly match the term in Q. But I tried to find an expression for what the price index is made up of.
neutral  Per Bergvall: Hadde du hengt på index etter det første alternativet, og droppet det andre, ville jeg langt på vei vært enig.

  -> Ja, var litt rask på labben her. Mest bare et kjapt forslag. Men "sales revenue" syns jeg høres bra ut. Da er man ikke i tvil. Men "vektet for omsetning (pris x volum)" er ikke det bare selve omsetningen i kroner da?

neutral  Thomas Deschington: Skal ikke være for bombastisk, men jeg er ganske sikker på at revenues omfatter mer enn bare inntekter fra salg av varer og tjenester (f.eks. renteinntekter osv.).

  -> Forskjellen på sales og revenues er at sales behøver ikke være monetært i det hele tatt - det kan være # units, vekt, andel av produksjon - men revenues er alltid bare penger. Kall det gjerne sales revenues hvis du vil.

Explanation:
This is maybe what you're looking for. Turnover wouldn't be understood by an American readership, in general.
