You can conclude that it is farther than a certain distance. How much this distance is depends, of course, on how accurately the parallax angle can be measured.
I assume you mean the parallax. If the parallax is 0.1 arc-seconds, then the distance is 1 / 0.1 = 10 parsecs.I assume you mean the parallax.

At larger distance, the parallax becomes smaller, and therefore harder to measure. Even the closest star (Toliman) has a parallax of less than one arc-second (1/3600 of a degree), which is difficult to measure. Stars that are farther away have a much smaller parallax.
I believe that it is all to do with margin of error. The further away the planet, the greater the margin of error in the observations and therefore the greater the uncertainty in their distance from Earth.
Advantage: A much larger orbit, thus, the parallax angle will be larger and easier to measure. Disadvantage: A full orbit of Pluto takes 248 years.
A million light-years is about 300,000 parsecs; that would mean a parallax of 1/300,000 arc-seconds. Such a small angle can't be measured yet.A million light-years is about 300,000 parsecs; that would mean a parallax of 1/300,000 arc-seconds.

It means that the distance is greater than a certain amount - depending on how precisely you can measure the parallax.

The closer the star, the greater the parallax angle, which is why you can't measure the distance to very distant stars using the parallax method.
It's distance
Parallax would be easier to measure if the Earth were farther from the sun. This way, there will be a wider angle to the stars using the parallax method.
There is an uncertainty in ANY distance calculation; more so in astronomy, where you can't apply a measuring tape directly. For example, if you use the parallax method, you can only measure the parallax angle up to a certain precision; the farther the star is from us, the smaller the parallax angle, and therefore the larger will the uncertainty be.Specifically in the case of Deneb, it seems that it is surrounded by a shell of material; this makes it more difficult to measure the parallax exactly.
The parallax angle of such distant objects is way too small to be measured. In general, the farther away an object, the smaller is its parallax angle.
It means that its distance is farther than can be detected. For example, if the smallest angle that can be detected is 1/100 of an arc-second, it would mean that the star is farther than about 100 parsec.
The parallax should get smaller and harder to notice although in astronomy there are techniques used to find the parallax of stars by using the Earth's position around the sun to find the distance of the stars.

The mathematical equation which describes how to measure the distance from Earth to the moon using Earth's diameter as a unit of measure is d = Dcot(p/2)/2 Where d is the distance from Earth to the moon, D is the diameter of the Earth and p is the angle of parallax subtended at moon by the diameter of the Earth.
