Propably the reference is here - http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#NT-Char - but, if you are like me, that information is at times is a little more than cryptic. This is a quite noce piece of code that you could run your data through to check for invalid characters before adding it to the workbook - http://balajiramesh.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/strip-illegal-xml-characters-based-on-w3c-standard/. Furthermore, have a search using Google or similar to see if there is a better formatted list on the internet. This error is to do with the xml mark-up and not directly with BigGridDemo so you can widen your serach for information IMO.
Finally, to find out what is wrong, I would do this; 1. Copy the workbook and rename that copy with a .zip extension. 2. Unzip the file into a folder and then locate the sheet1.xml file - you know where it is from the error message. 3. Open this file using a good xml editor. I use Microsoft's editor that opens the file as an Internet Explorer window and will highlight the error, or errors, for me. Cannot promise it will work for you but it should.
