Displaying number of observations on a graph title

[Valdemar Diaz]

Hi there,

I want to put the number of observations in the title of a bar graph that displays the percentage distribution of the observation over a few categories, but I can't find a way to do it. I'm using this command for the graph:

graph bar (percent) var1, over(var2)ytitle(% of `: variable label var1') blabel(bar)

I tried using title(var1 Rate `: var1[r(sum)]'),but apparently it doesn't work.

Thank you,

So, I'm assuming that you want to include in the title the number of observations of var1. You can do that as follows:

count if !missing(var1)
local N `r(N)'
graph bar (percent) var1, over(var2) ytitle(% of `:variable label var1') ///
    blabel(bar) title("N = `N'")

Exactly, Clyde! I'm sorry for not being clear about what variable I was talking about. The graph looks like this thanks to you:
