Hello, @sk-esper. We know of this behavior. This happens because desktop MS Excel does not display threads comment. Threads comment are supported only on MS Office365 (Web Version). Now we have no solutions to this problem and I created a new issue 50369 in our private issue tracker to discuss with our team.

Interesting! To clarify, I am observing the issue in Office 365 (that's what my screenshot is from).

Looking at the raw XML files in the XLSX archive exported by OnlyOffice, I don't see the ThreadedComments block anywhere (as defined by the MS extensions to the OOXML SpreadsheetML format), which is how I would expect threaded comments to be exported. I do see the threaded comment content embedded in VML drawings, which could explain why importing the document back into OnlyOffice retains the threaded comments, but it appears that this is insufficient for the threaded comment to show up when opening the file with MS Excel 365 in the browser.
