This article is about the use of n/a to represent "not applicable" etc. For other uses of NA, Na, na, and N/A, see Na.
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.
