N/A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Not Applicable)
The characters N/A (sometimes n/a) are an abbreviation that is mainly used in information tables. It stands for one of the following:
- Not applicable: Where three or more elements are not compatible, it is said the resulting data is not applicable. For example, in a sport results table, where all teams are columns and rows, those cells which would show a team versus itself are usually marked with a symbol or with N/A.
- Not available: Where there exists a lack of data. It also means a temporary unavailability of that piece of data (although TBA or TBD is often used instead). For example, in a price table, when new articles have arrived but the price is not yet available, it is usually expressed with n/a. In Microsoft Excel, the function NA() or special entry #N/A may be used.
- No answer: Refers to something that has no known or available answer.
- Neurotics Anonymous: N/A is sometimes used by members of Neurotics Anonymous as a way to abbreviate the name of their fellowship, as NA is most commonly associated with Narcotics Anonymous.
