Hi Ethan,

It does not appear to show a key:

D4[] = vsr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "render4.py", line 115, in <module>
    create_report_index(each_item)
  File "render4.py", line 26, in create_report_index
    [clean_name, _] = each_value.split('_', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack


Thanks,
James
