Chart using dynamic (offset) named ranges gets set to "static" data referenced on re-open

Brass Contributor

So I have some fancy chart that covers a dynamic range using named ranges + offset() functions.  Certainly these are some of the things that strain the limits of excel without entering the abyss that is VBA customization, so I expect some degree of fuss, but everything has been working well in recent history.

 

THis new chart is in an excel document that sees heavy co-authoring, and is stored in SharePoint.  After I close the sheet and re-open, all of the ranges I specified in the chart data get converted to references to "_r{1}", "_r{2}", ... "_r{9}" etc.  Which I assume are references to some static dataset.  

Is this a product of co authoring?  Has anyone seen this, and more importantly has anyone an idea on how to work around it?

Would it be possible to make these range names superfluous by converting your ranges to tables and pointing to the tables directly?
