Somehow I've ended up with junk characters in my database, and when I export to Excel using SSRS, excel just deletes the entire contents due to the invalid character. I've found the character in my database, but I don't know how it got saved. It looks like a miniature upside down capital L. Anyway, if that could make it in there, I'm sure other junk can too. Is there a list somewhere of "illegal" characters that SSRS doesn't know how to export, that I can just do searches for? Or do I have to just make a list of all the "valid" characters and just strip out any that don't belong?
