Thanks Deepayan,

What you suggest is quite fine, but provides the overall number of cases for the entire dataset splitted into V2 levels. 

What about if I need to show panel specific's values? For instance I want to show not the total number of Female but the total number of Female in 1st Class.

In other worlds, take your example and suppose I have:

barchart(V2 ~ Freq | V1, data = tdf, groups = V3, layout=c(1,4), stack=TRUE,
       ylim = sprintf("%s (n=%g)", names(numByV2), numByV2))

and now what I would like to show is the result of

with(tdf, tapply(Freq, list(V2,V1), sum))

next to each stacked bar. 

In the previous example, I would need show in the Crew panel Female (n=23), in the 3rd Class panel Female (n=196), etc...

Can I do that?

Thanks,
Luca
