I'm loading a dataframe that has a column with string (blank) in it. I want to read this as is, instead of being converted to any other form (Nan, <NA>, '' etc.).
I tried several stack overflow suggestions. The closest that answered mine was this question (keep_default_na=False), although it still converted it to empty string .
Is there any way I can get (blank) itself as a string. As it's required to not create confusion for the end user.
By the way, I also tried converting using dtype as well, but to no avail. It still converts to <NA>.
