Description
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([1,2,np.nan, pd.NA], columns=['a'])
# case 1
df.fillna({})
# case 2
df.fillna({np.nan: {}, pd.NA: {}})Issue Description
.fillna() doesn't work as expected for case then value = {}
as written in pandas.DataFrame.fillna:
DataFrame.fillna(value=None, method=None, axis=None, inplace=False, limit=None, downcast=None)
Fill NA/NaN values using the specified method.
Parameters
value scalar, dict, Series, or DataFrame
Value to use to fill holes (e.g. 0), alternately a dict/Series/DataFrame of values specifying which value to use for each index (for a Series) or column (for a DataFrame). Values not in the dict/Series/DataFrame will not be filled. This value cannot be a list.
Expected Behavior
all values (np.nan and pd.NA) should be changed to {}
