In business analytics, you often need to summarize sales data by categories such as region to create concise, actionable reports. After learning how to use `group_by()` to segment your data, you are ready to apply grouping and summarization skills to a practical scenario: analyzing sales by region. This type of analysis helps businesses identify high-performing areas and target strategies more effectively.
