Created attachment 18546 [details] org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unable to construct record instance, the following exception occured: null
Created attachment 19199 [details] Simplest possible testcase showing the RecordFormatExceptionException It seems the exception stems from referencing a cell value from a floating TextBox.
We still have this bug in 3.0 RC2. Something is wrong when reading TextObjectRecord. Regards, Yegor
Works for me with POI 3.2
