Answer 1

for data in LL:
   try:
      if "N/A" in data:
         continue
      else:
         x, y, z = data
         # Process data...
   except Exception:
      continue

Answer 2

UPDATED

I suppose like that

try: 
   if "N/A" in [XXX,YYY,ZZZ,AAA]
       raise Exception()
except:
   pass 

Answer 3

Note that it's generally a bad idea to do a plain except:, as it will swallow exceptions that you need to know about.

LL = [("bad line",456,"N/A"),["good line", 123, 456],]

for line in LL:
    try: 
        if "N/A" in line:
            raise ValueError

        print line[0]

    except ValueError:
        print "skipped"
