N/a
The characters n/a (sometimes N/A) is an abbreviation that is mainly used in information tables. It stands for either:
Not available
Where there exists a lack of data. It also means a temporary unavailability of that piece of data. Example:
- In a pricetable, when new articles have arrived but the price is not yet available it's usually expressed with n/a
Not applicable
Where two elements or more are not compatible we can say the resulting data is Not Applicable. Example:
- In a sport results table, where all teams are columns and rows, those cells which would mean team X vs itself are usually marked with a symbol or with n/a.
