Herve,

You can list the number of observations in a footnote.

. count if post_ifrs == 0
. local pi0 = r(N)
. count if post_ifrs == 1
. local pi1 = r(N)
. histogram ib_scaled_w if ib_scaled_w >-.1 & ib_scaled_w<.1 &
country=="AUS"  & sample_sum==1, bin(20) by(post_ifrs, note("post_ifrs
= 0: `pi0' observations, post_ifrs = 1: `pi1' observations"))
title("AUS") saving (hist_AUS, replace)
