I can understand what you are asking, even though I don't speak your language. I hope you can understand my response in English.

The "type mismatch" error message is because id_per is a string variable in your data set. You need to create a numeric equivalent of id_per:

egen n_id_per = group(id_per)
bys id_hogar: egen numpers= count(id_per)

Once you fix that, the other error messages will go away without any additional changes.

Feeding a string variable to egen, count() is not a problem, at least in Stata 18, so unlike Clyde Schechter for once, I don't understand why that error message arises.

What version of Stata are you using?
