But beware of -expand-. If an observation represents a zero frequency, it will be retained. You will see a warning but it's a behaviour that you might not have anticipated.

I transcribe tables from papers that I am reviewing into Stata frequently, to cross-check stats, and it's easy to transcribe a zero without remembering that this will create a single observation in the expanded dataset.
