Please show what you expect for output for your example input.

 

"Week" is a somewhat slippery concept. By within two weeks do you mean 14 days, do you have any rules about "workdays" "weekdays", which day of a week starts a week.

 

And the ever popular is your date variable actually a SAS date valued variable?

Below should work. Please post next time your sample data via a working SAS data step as I've done below.

data have;
  input id date :date9.;
  format date date9.;
  datalines;
1 07JAN2018
2 28MAR2018
3 14FEB2018
1 28JAN2018
2 11APR2018
3 24FEB2018
;
run;

proc sql;
  create table want as
  select 
    o.*, 
    case
      when
            (select i.date from have i 
              where i.id=o.id 
                    and i.date between o.date+1 and o.date+14
            ) ne . then 'Yes'
      else 'No'
      end as YesNo length=3
  from have o 
  ;
quit;
