Is there a way to write a formula that incorporates a mathematical value for the Sector a stock is in?

For example suppose I am using a stochastics formula and the value for JNJ is "X". The same stochastic gives a value of "Y" for Drugs, the sector that JNJ is in. Can I write a formula that automatically adds X and Y to produce a final rating of "Z" for JNJ?

I want to calculate "Z" for all stocks in a watch list.

You can create a watchlist of Drug stocks and includes the drug sector
in it.

When you sort the watchlist by stochastics you can tell which stocks are
above it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also sort the sectors by STOC.

When you have found a sector you are interested in. (lets say
drugs). You can record its value. Lets say it is 35.14.

You can now sort the component watchlist with the equation:

STOC(for the stock)-35.14

The ones that are positive are above the index.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Realize that STOC may not be the best indicator for this.

Something like linear regression slope or percent change may be better.
