Suppose I have a SAS table as follows:

 

ID   Yr

A    2003

A    2004

A    2004

B    2003

B    2003

 

I would like to add a new column which has the number of occurrences of each ID as follows:

 

ID   Yr       Occurences

A    2003   3

A    2004   3

A    2004   3

B    2003   2

B    2003   2

 

Please advise on how I can do this
