I have couple of data files and I list in duplicated layout files.

```
{{ with .Site.Data.money_transfer.DZ.sections }}
  <div >
    {{ range .items }}
      {{ partial "section.html" . }}
    {{ end }}
  </div>
{{ end }}

```

Can I call like this?

```
{{ with .Site.Data.money_transfer["DZ"].sections }}
...
{{ end }}

```

Because if I can, I can call dynamically with only one layout

You may be looking for the [index](https://gohugo.io/functions/index-function/#readout) function. Here’s a sample:

```nohighlight
{{ $key := "DZ" }}
{{ with (index .Site.Data.money_transfer $key).sections }}

```

The `$key` can be any string, or read from a front matter param.
