Objects can also be selected from within the selection pane (Home/Editing/Find&Select/SelectionPane.
Thing like multi-selection as changing the z-order are easier here but, if the sheet and objects are protected, then you will also be unable to select them from the pane.

I just checked and it is not protected. I can move other graphs but not the linked picture.

Does it make a difference that this document is housed in SharePoint? I have it open in the desktop version but it is autosaving to SharePoint.

Hi Dbstedman

I do not think that it makes a difference where the picture is located. In the end, it's just an object in Excel and you should at least be able to select it/click on it.
Unfortunately, I do not have any other idea...
