How can I use Ruby to parse through a CSV file containing sales data and calculate the total revenue generated by each product category?
Assuming the CSV file has the same format as the Excel table provided in the original prompt, we can use the CSV library in Ruby to read the file and the group_by method to group the data by category. Here's an example code snippet:
require 'csv'
sales_data = []
CSV.foreach('sales_data.csv', headers: true) do |row|
  sales_data << row.to_h
end
revenue_by_category = sales_data.group_by { |row| row['Category'] }
revenue_by_category.each do |category, data|
  total_revenue = data.map { |row| row['Quantity'].to_i * row['Price per unit'].to_i }.sum
  puts "Total revenue for #{category}: #{total_revenue}"
end
This code reads the sales data from a CSV file, groups the data by category using the group_by method, and calculates the total revenue for each category using the map and sum methods. The output will display the total revenue for each category.

Certainly! To use Ruby to parse through a CSV file containing sales data and calculate the total revenue generated by each product category, you can use the CSV library to read the file and the group_by method to group the data by category, as you've described. Here's a refined version of the code snippet you provided, with some small improvements and additional explanatory comments:
```ruby
require 'csv'

# Read the sales data from the CSV file
sales_data = CSV.foreach('sales_data.csv', headers: true)
 .map { |row| row.to_h }
 .reject { |row| row['Quantity'].to_i == 0 }  # Ignore rows with zero quantity

# Group the data by category
revenue_by_category = sales_data.group_by { |row| row['Category'] }

# Calculate the total revenue for each category
revenue_by_category.each do |category, data|
  total_revenue = data.map { |row| row['Quantity'].to_i * row['Price per unit'].to_i }.sum
  puts "Total revenue for #{category}: #{total_revenue}"
end
```
Here's a breakdown of the code:

1. `require 'csv'`: This line requires the CSV library to be loaded into the Ruby interpreter.
2. `sales_data = CSV.foreach('sales_data.csv', headers: true)`: This line reads the sales data from the CSV file'sales_data.csv' and returns an enumerator over the rows of the file. The `headers: true` option tells the CSV library to recognize the first row of the file as the header row.
3. `sales_data << row.to_h`: This line appends each row of the enumerator to the `sales_data` array, converting each row to a hash using the `to_h` method.
4. `revenue_by_category = sales_data.group_by { |row| row['Category'] }`: This line groups the `sales_data` array by the `Category` field using the `group_by` method.
5. `revenue_by_category.each do |category, data|`: This line loops through each category in the `revenue_by_category` hash, which contains the data for each category.
6. `total_revenue = data.map { |row| row['Quantity'].to_i * row['Price per unit'].to_i }.sum`: This line calculates the total revenue for each category by multiplying the quantity and price per unit for each row in the category, and then summing the results using the `sum` method.
7. `puts "Total revenue for #{category}: #{total_revenue}"`: This line outputs the total revenue for each category to the console.

Make sure to replace `'sales_data.csv'` with the actual path to your CSV file. Also, ensure that your CSV file has headers with the names "Category", "Quantity", and "Price per unit". If the headers are different, update the `group_by` block accordingly.

Additionally, you may want to handle any potential errors, such as if the CSV file doesn't exist or if the headers are missing or incorrect. Here's an updated version of the code with error handling:

```ruby
require 'csv'

begin
  sales_data = []
  CSV.foreach('sales_data.csv', headers: true) do |row|
    sales_data << row.to_h
  end
rescue Errno::ENOENT # File not found
  puts "Error: CSV file 'sales_data.csv' not found."
  exit
end

unless sales_data.first.keys.sort == ['Category', 'Quantity', 'Price per unit']
  puts "Error: CSV file headers do not match expected format."
  exit
end

revenue_by_category = sales_data.group_by { |row| row['Category'] }
revenue_by_category.each do |category, data|
  total_revenue = data.map { |row| row['Quantity'].to_i * row['Price per unit'].to_i }.sum
  puts "Total revenue for #{category}: #{total_revenue}"
end
```

This code uses a `begin`/`rescue` block to handle the case where the CSV file doesn't exist, and checks that the headers match the expected format. Adjust the error messages as needed based on your specific use case.
