    Smile Dynamic chart stops working after its saved and re-opened

    Hello all,

    I have created a dynamic chart to track stock levels for the previous 7 days, everything works great until the sheet is saved, closed and opened again - then it doesn't work! After spending hours trying to locate the issue, I noticed the series value names had changed, instead of starting with "=Sheet1!" they had changed to "=[0]!" . Once the value was changed back to "=Sheet1!" the chart works once again....

    Best regards

    Excel novice

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Hi,

    If you are using Excel 2007, do you have at least Service Pack 2 installed? There were numerous charting bugs in the original release. Also, if you are using named ranges, don't start the name with "Chart".
