Hi,

As far as I know, the whole error message might be like this:

>>Errors were detected in file 'filename.xlsx':
Removed Part: /xl/sharedStrings.xml part with XML error.  (Strings) Illegal xml character. Line X, column XXXX.
Removed Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part.<<

It might be the case of an invalid character or an encoding error in the XML when export from crystal reports. I recommend we check error column XXXX and edit it to check if we could repair it manually.

If we still can't repair it, I suggest you upload this file and post the question to crystal reports forum.

It's recommended to download and install Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs.
