If you like, but

Or rather, to create a variable, as your subject line indicates, use
-egen,
count- with the -by- prefix.

Combine -count- with the -by- prefix.

This is very simple but I keep getting it wrong. I have data with
large number of observations (hospitals) and I need to generate a count
variable

for
the facility, home for the location of the facility.
