Do you mean to say that, you have a CSV file which contains the file path & file names of one or more CSV files which you are passing into another CSV Data set Config using ${filename}. please clarify? – Zubair M Hamdani

CSV Data Set Config cannot use JMeter Variable as the "Filename". However it is possible to use __property function there.

So your test plan should look as follows:

  1. Read some value into a JMeter Variable i.e. foo via 1st CSV Data Set Config
  2. Convert foo variable into foo property via __setProperty function
  3. Use ${__property(foo,,)} as a "Filename" in 2nd CSV Data Set Config.
