Add rows to table even if not in array

Question

Not sure how to title this, so I apologize if it's misleading or not understandable. What I have is an array, that array will have 1-4 arrays within it. I need a HTML table to output 4 columns, so even if the array only has one array in it, it still needs to output for columns. The issue I am hitting is that the columns need to match up. Inside of the arrays there is a key called 'Deductible' and that key matches up with the HTML table's columns. The Array, PHP, current HTML output and wanted HTML output are all below and a link to PasteBin in case this post doesn't display it all correctly.

// OUTPUT OF $estimateOutput

  0 => 
  array (
    'AdminCode' => 'NASC',

Always loop four times, then find the correct array to print:

$deductable_values = array(0, 50, 100, 200);
foreach ($deductable_values as $deductable_value) {
    $data = find_deductible_array($estimateOutput, $deductable_value);
    // output a row using $data, which may be null.
}

function find_deductible_array($estimateOutput, $value) {
    foreach ($estimateOutput as $row) {
        if ($row['deductible'] == $value) {
            return $row;
        }
     }
     // not found
     return null;
}
