Use Excel File card throws an exception when used in a loop

Here is the scenario that my business team is working on with StudioX.
They need to open each excel file saved in a folder and perform some operation with them.
But Use Excel File card throws an exception like the one below when it runs for the second time in the loop (For each file in folder)

Tried inserting the excel card in any loop for that matter, I came across the same problem again.
This seems like an bug to me. Suggestions anyone?
