Your email is vague ("some totals") about the statistic you are trying to replicate in Stata. Also, you are admonished in the FAQ to use your full real name, even if you do post through a third-party website.
If you only care about totals and not counts of observations, standard errors, statistical significance, etc., you could use [pw=fexp] or [iw=fexp] with the -total- command. For example:
. sysuse nlsw88, clear
(NLSW, 1988 extract)
. total wage [fw=grade]
Total estimation Number of obs = 29394
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Total Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
wage | 238954.8 1010.528 236974.1 240935.4
--------------------------------------------------------------
. total wage [iw=grade]
Total estimation Number of obs = 29394
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Total Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
wage | 238954.8 1010.528 236974.1 240935.4
--------------------------------------------------------------
. total wage [pw=grade]
Total estimation Number of obs = 2242
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Total Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
wage | 238954.8 3802.351 231498.3 246411.3
