Vladimir Vakhitov <[email protected]> and Jeremy Page <[email protected]>:
The solution below does not give the desired result, but substitute _N
for _n and it does.  Or in one:
 bys id: g balanced = (_N==7)

However, observations may exist and yet contain missing values and
therefore be excluded from the regression.  Thus you need something
more like
 qui xtreg y x, i(id) fe
 g ok=e(sample)
 egen sumok=total(ok), by(id)
 su sumok, meanonly
 g allok=(sumok==r(max))
 xtreg y x if allok==1, i(id) fe
