Marketing - Surveying /
Japanese term or phrase: N点日
I'm translating a survey and came upon this term.
After the term, in parenthesis it says (N test stores x N days) [= N点日]

Anyone familiar with the term? Should this just be translated as stores/ days?

English translation:試験店舗数　X　日数
Explanation:
I think you are right.
I　suspect 「点」 of 「N点日」　is a typo （変換ミス） for 「店」(stores).
test stores = 試験店舗

(It is also possible that [N test stores] could be [N test scores], depending on the context. But, here I will stick with my first ANSWER .)

Sorry, I did not post my answer in English.
I was paying too much attention to the word (the suspected typo) itself!
The answer should have been : Number of Test Stores X Number of Days.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Can Altinbay: The formula suggests that it's a typo, so I also support your first answer. This srt of thing should be put in a note to the client, however. If nothing else, they can correct their original.
