n/a
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

n/a or N/A is a common abbreviation in tables and lists for not applicable,[1][2] not available [3] or no answer.[4] It is used to indicate when information in a certain table cell is not provided, either because it does not apply to a particular case in question or because the answer is not available. NA is an initialism which carries the same latter meaning.[citation needed ]
