In words here are the rules I want to implement:

 

If Flag = N then WANT = HAVE

If Flag = Y and HAVE value is max among observations with same ID, then WANT=HAVE

If Flag = Y and above rule is false, then WANT=.5*HAVE 

If there's an instance where two values for an ID are max (and Flag=Y), then arbitrarily WANT = HAVE for one and WANT = .5*HAVE for the other. (this is shown for ID b below)

Thanks in advance.

You need clarify something more .

What If there's an instance where THREE values for an ID are max (and Flag=Y), What you are going to do ?

And Don't post it as picture, post it as TEXT . No one would like to type it for you and would ignore your quesiton.

 

 

data have;
input id $ flag $ have ;
cards;
a y 8437
a y 4533
a n 6814
b n 5322
b y 8031
b y 8031
;
run;
data want;
 do until(last.id);
  set have;
  by id;
  max=max(max,have);
 end;
 do until(last.id);
  set have;
  by id;
  if flag='n' then want=have;
  if flag='y' and have ne max then want=.5*have;
  if flag='y' and have=max then do;
   if found then want=.5*have;
    else do;want=have;found=1;end;
  end; 
  output;
 end;
 drop max;
run;

@Ksharp, thanks for the feedback and the tip about text vs image.

It looks to me like @mohamed_zaki's reply addresses the issue of if three values are max and flag = 'Y'. The data would be sorted so that the HAVE column ascends so that

else if flag ='Y' and last.flag then want=have;
else want =.5*have;

causes only the last instance to set want=have, whereas the previous instances would be set to want=.5*have.

Am I incorrect?

It is hard to say something , it is all depend on what you want.

And There looks like some problem in his code :

 

 

data have;
input id $ flag $ have ;
cards;
a y 8437
a y 4533
a n 6814
b n 9322
b y 8031
b y 8031
;
proc sort data=have;
by ID flag have;
run;

data want;
set have;
by ID flag have;
if Flag = 'n' then want=have;
else if flag ='y' and last.flag then want=have;
else want =.5*have;
run;
