I’m wondering if I could use an excel files conditions as the selected rows in the same trial? I am trying it right now but keeps giving me the error that the name isn’t defined.

I have a screenshot of what I am trying to do. Thank You.

Hi, yes but you will need a second loop around your inner loop. So the inner loop will take the BlockRows.xlsx and the outer loop will take a conditions file that contains the header myIndicies 🙂
