Here's a way of doing it with ranks:
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. gen work = -mpg
. egen work2 = rank(work), unique
. egen cufreq = max(work2), by(work)
. tabdisp mpg, c(cufreq)
----------------------
Mileage |
(mpg) | cufreq
----------+-----------
12 | 74
14 | 72
15 | 66
16 | 64
17 | 60
18 | 56
19 | 47
20 | 39
21 | 36
22 | 31
23 | 26
24 | 23
25 | 19
26 | 14
28 | 11
29 | 8
30 | 7
31 | 5
34 | 4
35 | 3
41 | 1
----------------------
If you were happy with a tabulation alone, -groups- (SSC) offers another way to do this.
. groups mpg, show(rF) ge sep(0)
+------------+
| mpg # >= |
|------------|
| 12 74 |
| 14 72 |
| 15 66 |
| 16 64 |
| 17 60 |
| 18 56 |
| 19 47 |
| 20 39 |
| 21 36 |
| 22 31 |
| 23 26 |
| 24 23 |
| 25 19 |
| 26 14 |
| 28 11 |
| 29 8 |
| 30 7 |
| 31 5 |
| 34 4 |
| 35 3 |
| 41 1 |
+------------+

That's clearly right in principle. In practice, -cumul- is I think easier for what was asked for here.

For the number of firms that have at least as many employees (rather
than the percentage of firms), it should be possible to work with
ranks.
