This video provides a walkthrough of the challenge requirements for segmenting a dataset by two dimensions (such as acquisition month and user region) and calculating advanced retention metrics. You will see how to use pandas to group data, create multi-level cohorts, and compute retention and churn rates for each segment.

To complete this challenge, follow these steps:

- Use a **pandas DataFrame** containing user activity data, with columns such as `user_id`, `acquisition_month`, `region`, and `activity_month`;
- Segment the users by both `acquisition_month` and `region` to create multi-level cohorts;
- For each cohort, calculate the number of users retained in each subsequent month after acquisition;
- Compute the **retention rate** for each cohort as the percentage of users active in a given month compared to the original cohort size;
- Calculate the **churn rate** as 1 minus the retention rate for each period.

You will need to use **pandas** grouping and aggregation methods to perform these calculations efficiently.
