OK, NA status code commonly indicates which scenario?

• A. Calculation not required - No data
• B. Translate
• C. The data for this intersection has not changed since the last calculation
• D. Consolidate because data for a child Entity has changed

Answer: (A)

In OneStream, the NA status code signals that there is no data for that cell, so no calculation is performed. This happens when the intersection of the chosen dimensions doesn’t have a value in the data source or the metric isn’t applicable to that scenario. The status acts as a cue to skip processing for that cell rather than attempting a calculation with missing input. Other behaviors—such as translating values, noting that data hasn’t changed since the last calculation, or consolidating because child data changed—are separate processing states, not represented by NA. So the NA indicator best describes a situation where the calculation isn’t needed due to the absence of data.
