Values must be non-missing for all variables entered in a regression;
otherwise observations will be excluded. After your regression

. regress <whatever>

You can identify the excluded values

. gen excluded = !e(sample)

and then look for missings in the excluded

. egen nmissing = rowmiss(<whatever>) if excluded
. tab nmissing

Here <whatever> is whatever varlist you used for -regress-.
