Consistent text formatting is essential for reliable data analysis and grouping. When text data contains a mix of uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized words, grouping and comparison operations can yield misleading results. For instance, `"Apple"`, `"apple"`, and `"APPLE"` might all refer to the same value, but without standardization, they are treated as distinct entries. By ensuring that all text values in a column use the same case, you simplify grouping and aggregation, reduce errors, and make your data easier to work with.
