@danielbeni,

Please notice, I am able to reproduce the issue as you mentioned. I found an exception “java.lang.ClassCastException: Overflow in int to byte conversion. int value: 144” when reading the file via Aspose.Cells object model:
e.g.
Sample code:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook("f:\\files\\test.xlsx");
