Is there any more information on this? I have the same problem: I create the chart on the same page as the data (downloaded as csv from an external source), save it, but when I open it again, the chart was not saved. Just now, I created a dummy file with data that I entered, created a chart, saved the file, and the chart saved. Could the source of the data be the problem?

In first case in which format did you save the file - csv, xlsx, etc ?

I simply downloaded the files as csv. I'm guessing I should have saved them as xls?
Thanks...

Yes. csv file is just text file, it doesn't keep formatting, graphics, etc. Save As excel file, .xlsx is preferrable
