Ok, how about something like this:
*Create data set: 7 variables with values {1, 2, 3}
clear
set obs 30
qui {
forv i = 1/7 {
gen c`i' = 1
replace c`i' = 2 if uniform() <.4
replace c`i' = 3 if uniform() <.3
}
}
*Create frequency values
qui {
forv i = 1/7 {
tempfile file`i'
xcontract c`i', freq(freq) idnum(`i') saving(`file`i'')
}
}
dsconcat `file1' `file2' `file3' `file4' `file5' `file6' `file7'
drop c*
egen id2 = fill(1 2 3 1 2 3)
forv i = 1/7 {
local relabel `relabel' `i' C`i'
}
graph bar freq, over(id2) over(idnum, relabel( `relabel')) ytitle(Frequency)
