Hi all,

I have generated a report Accured Purchase AX 2012 R3 . It is successfully generated then we save the report in excel. It's saved but when trying to open the excel, we got below error.

Replaced Part: /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part with XML error.  Illegal xml character. Line 163, column 10296.

Kindly let me know how will resolve this.

Thnaks!

    Obviously it's a character issue. If there is a certain character, changing it is a solution, but if there is no certain suspect and since you cannot change all the characters, you can find the troublesome character by examining the office side.

    But as I said, it is very unlikely that you will find that information in this cominity.

    Have you tried the instructions in the link I sent? I recommend you to try especially with utf-8.

    thanks Ergun,

    In the report, we have one column item name. That is in to Chinese character. I believe some special  character is there and that is not recognized  by excel. t

    let me check

    The error is not directly related to ax. If there is no one who encounters the same error, you don't have much chance to find a solution here. It would be useful to have a look at the ms office sites.
