Hello carlacash,

Tomasz provided some code that makes a good starting point at 
message #92589.

Weigted composite:

weight = IIF( Name() == "MSFT", 5,
                IIF( Name() == "INTC", 4,
                IIF( Name() == "AAPL", 6,
                IIF( Name() == "GOOG", 7,
                                                           0 ) ) ) );

AddToComposite( weight * array, "~COMPNAME", "X" );
AddToComposite( weight , "~COMPNAME", "V" );

Regards,
