sysuse auto, clear
*tag the groups
egen groups=group(f rep)
levelsof groups, loc(gr)
*counts go into mycount var
g mycounts=.
*loop over the levels of the groups
foreach lev of loc gr{
count if gr==`lev'
replace mycounts=r(N) if gr==`lev'
}
*lets see what happened
sort f rep
l f re gro myco, sepby(f rep) noo
table rep f, c(freq mean myc)
**********
