Description
I have tracked down an error I initially found in trying to use query.jl, but the root cause seems to be an apparent bug when importing csv files where the bottom right most cell is empty.
For example with the simple test csf file (attached test.csv) which looks like this
when you import the empty bottom right most cell is coming up as #undef rather than missing
This then causes all kinds of downstream havoc when doing anything with this cell. For example
EDIT: To clarify this error happens when the bottom right code cell in the csv file is empty. When it is explicitly coded as NA the import works fine

Research direction
Start by reproducing the import with the attached test.csv, focusing on the empty bottom-right cell and the query.jl path where the problem was observed. Compare it with the explicitly coded NA case; done means the empty cell imports as missing rather than #undef and no longer causes downstream failures.
