Excel reports a broken xlsx file if there is an ascii code 0x0B or decimal 11 in a cell. It's also known as VT or "Vertical Tab". Excel consider this character as illegal in xml and the xlsx is broken if it's inside xml found in sharedStrings.xml file.

Is there any function that escapes illegal characters in a string before it's assigned to the cell ?
