In Stata a format is a display format applying to variables and
scalars. But we know what you mean. One of many ways is

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. egen count = count(mpg) , by(foreign)

. label var count "Number of cars"

. tabdisp foreign, c(count)

--------------------------
 Car type | Number of cars
----------+---------------
 Domestic |             52
  Foreign |             22
--------------------------
