this is a sample from my data and I want to know what is the best way to assign 

new variable call year  it count this way 

for each member id if there is only one service date then year=Measurement Year

but if the member id has more than service date then 

Measurement Year- The 12 month period that is being reviewed by the current run of data.  This does not have to start on January 1st

Prior Year- The 12 month period immediately preceding the measurement year

what is the best way to assign measurement year or prior year 

 

this is a sample of the result that I aim for

Define "current run of data". There is nothing in the example data that shows what that might mean. We would need some rule or value to set as the first and last dates for the "measurement Year". And what do you want if a date is actually 2 or more "measurement years" prior?

I also got confused by the same expression as well. but I guess that the current run of the data is the most current  service date for that particular obs

You hadn't stated what defines the measurement year, so I had guess it was the most recent date for a given memberID, and continued for one year prior to that date.

 

If that was correct, then the following would account for your latest criterion:

proc sort data=have;
  by MemberID descending ServiceDate;
run;

data want (drop=year_start year_boundary);
  set have;
  by MemberID descending ServiceDate;
  retain year_start year_boundary;
  if first.MemberID then do;
    Year='Measurement Year';
    year_start=intnx('year',ServiceDate,-1,'S');
    year_boundary=intnx('year',ServiceDate,-2,'S');
  end;
  else if ServiceDate gt year_start then year='Measurement Year';
  else if ServiceDate gt year_boundary then year='Prior Year';
  else call missing(year);
run;

I think you are asking how to do the following:

proc sort data=have;
  by MemberID descending ServiceDate;
run;

data want;
  set have;
  by MemberID descending ServiceDate;
  retain year_start;
  if first.MemberID then do;
    Year='Measurement Year';
    year_start=intnx('year',ServiceDate,-1,'S');
  end;
  else if ServiceDate lt year_start then year='Prior Year';
  else year='Measurement Year';
run;

I liked the answer even though 

 

Prior Year- The 12 month period immediately preceding the measurement year

and sometimes I have some obs have more than 24 months and I don't need to assign anything to those particular cases
