This error is because you removed the extensions from the conditions file `Choose_block_decimals.xlsx`. You are trying to use the `Decimals_Block1_072418.xlsx` spreadsheet, but as the extension has been removed, it will not work because the browser does not know what the file type is.

So, you cannot insert the name of a conditions file into itself, because then it tries to read itself for infinity. But, you can insert the name of a conditions file that is different. For example, my `cond.xlsx` file attached, can call condition file `A.xlsx`, and from `A.xlsx` I can access the `myFraction` variable.

[cond.xlsx](https://discourse.psychopy.org/uploads/short-url/5zaUoF3iMesVvNyHuy3P8bBeqTG.xlsx) (8.1 KB) [A.xlsx](https://discourse.psychopy.org/uploads/short-url/oNYcvodeWGlfzSRzEA5OjeictjK.xlsx) (8.1 KB)
