In Stata a format is a display format applying to variables and scalars. But we know what you mean. One of many ways is . sysuse auto (1978 Automobile Data) . egen count = count(mpg) , by(foreign) . label var count "Number of cars" . tabdisp foreign, c(count) -------------------------- Car type | Number of cars ----------+--------------- Domestic | 52 Foreign | 22 -------------------------- .
