This problem should be fixed in trunk.

Please try with a nightly build - see download links on http://poi.apache.org/
or build yourself from SVN trunk, see http://poi.apache.org/subversion.html

According to the exception one of your sheets contains two or more comments for single cell. Please attach to this ticket source code and input file to reproduce this exception.

Hi Arimitsu

Source file you've attached contains 2 comments for cell B1. However Excel correctly reads this file. Can you please explain me, how did you create such file using Excel or POI tools, so I will understand whether this file is corrupted and you should only create new file or consider this situation more detailed.

Regards, Evgeniy

Hi

I should have checked again using other files. 
I'm sorry.
I have forgotten how the old test file was created.

I created test file newly and checked that a clone of the first comment was performed.

Regards,
