I'm surprised at this. Did you -tsset- your data?
Graphs: A format such as you specify comes automatically in
webuse turksales
tsline sales
line sales t
line sales t, xla(120(8)160)
if you want something different, specify a -format()- suboption.
line sales t, xla(120(8)160, format("%tqq_Cy"))
Tables: Many tables don't even promise to echo the format of the variable being tabulated. More specific details are needed, I think.

i have a variable for the quarter of the year in which a clinic visit occurred which i have formatted thus:
quarter 151 when formatted appears as 1997q4.
when i create a table or graph of visits the number 151 appears rather than 1997q4.
how to i get 1997q4 into the table and graph.
