Hi my name is Nol,

I'd like to contribute to this issue. Currently, the iteration skips s.values() when its blank. So i've added an explicit assign np.nan. Also, ive added a list of cols so that a row that has no values will be populated with np.nan and maintains expected column sequence.

Please review and provide feedback.

Thank you

@J281417 looks like there are a couple failing tests.

Hi @mapanahi,
Yeah, I will update this weekend. Do you know if i should be assigning someone as reviewer for PRs?
Thank you.

No. You don't need to assign to anybody. The reviewers periodically look for open PRs.

Thanks @mapanahi, Goit it working. Just have to wait for reviewer now.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the PR but I'm negative on this approach; can you instead do

index = list(data.keys())

where this is called from. That already then flows through to DataFrame construction.
