Subsequent Rows Comparison for a unique id

[ankit1]

I have a certain data which requires me to compare a particular row with all the prior rows in a group and make an indicator accordingly. For e.g 

ID	Issue_date	Paid_to_date	Product
1	26-Dec-16	26-Dec-16	ARS
1	26-Dec-16	26-Dec-16	ARS
1	26-Dec-16	26-Dec-16	ASS
1	26-Dec-16	26-Dec-16	ASS
1	26-Dec-16	26-Dec-16	ASS
2	28-Dec-16	28-Dec-16	ARS
2	28-Dec-16	28-Dec-16	ARS
2	28-Dec-16	28-Dec-16	ARS

This is the dataset. Now i want to compare the second number row of first id with the first row of first id. And i want to compare the third row of first id with the second and first row of first id, fourth row of first id with the first,second, third row of first id. So basically i want to compare a particular row with all the prior rows for a given id. And i want to repeat the steps for all the other ids in the dataset. I tried but i could only compare two subsequent rows and not the ones prior to them. 

Can you please help.

You can use the lag function to enable the comarison of any number of previous records. What is the maximum number of records you might want to compare, what do you want to compare, and what are you ultimatelly trying to achieve through the comparisons?

What comparison do wish to do, and what values do you want to assign?
Please show a want data output.
