EA excel Importer error processing xml document

[BCGoitcwoodard]

An invalid character was found in text content.

How do I attach a screenshot?

you can link to a public image hosting site. You can't upload images here.

What excel importer are you using? If it's the one I developed you can send me an email directly and I'll have a look.

Which EA version? Which DB? Maybe a Jet4-upgrade might solve the issue.

You could use the Excel CLEAN function on the text to be imported to remove all extended ASCII including non-printing. 

Another thing that worked for me was to open the file with Notepad++ and run a Regex replace deleting all non-XMI compliant characters (or all extended ASCII characters): you can find some ideas here
