Default Linking a Bar Chart

I have a bar chart linked into my active worksheet. The
linked bar chart is based upon data that is using a named
range - specifically using the offset formula function. I
used this formula to automatically update the chart based
upon the new month's data.
However, my active worksheet will not update any changes
to the linked bar chart.
When I try to update it manually I get the message that
says: "The name you specified is defined as something
other than a rectangular cell reference". Anyone ever see
this? Any thoughts on how to work around this?

Brian -

What is the Refers To formula for your named range? And what does the
series formula look like?
