Hi,
I simply would like to set a new Var "Counter" thats count to 12 (in the example below to 3) by the ID. I mean within the same ID, it can be hundred of them, I would like to count the rows by 12 (equivalent to months), each time gets to 12 then reset to 1 again until 12, to the end of the rows until ID changes. So this counter repeat itself in the same way for each new ID.
I imagine is simply, my problem is I am only learning!!! Thank you a lot for your help. Bernardita

Hi,
Yep, pretty simple - I will go by your given example below:
data want; set have; by id; retain counter; if first.id or counter > 3 then counter=0; else counter=counter+1; run;
