Hello @May_Meow,

try .Site.data.(.Site.Params.datafile). Note, that the file extension / format isn’t used if you access the content of data files with .Site.Data. Hence it can be omitted in the front matter.

unexpected <.> in operand it returns error

Should be something like:

{{ index .Site.Data .Params.datafile }}

Basically, be as informative as possible, and share your code if you can. :slight_smile:
