number of missing values on varname1, varname2, varname3, etc. in the
entire dataset:

count if missing(varname1, varname2, varname3, etc.)

number of missing values on varname1, varname2, etc. by some grouping
variable (id).

gen byte miss = missing(varname1, varname2, etc.)
bysort id : egen nmiss = total(nmiss)
drop miss
