Default Named dynamic ranges, copied worksheets and graph source data

Good to see I'm not the only one thinking it's an area for improvement.

Thanks to all that replied. As usual, a lot of good information.
Maybe this could be a feature enhancement request for the next Excel.

I have a worksheet setup that graphs data contained in two dynamic
named ranges. The graph is an object within the worksheet and not a
separate graph sheet. The named ranges are defined as follows using
the dynamic range name addin for Excel:

Pressure
='150 GPM'!$F$12:OFFSET('150 GPM'!$F$12,COUNTA('150
GPM'!$F$12:$F$65536)-1,0)

RPM
='150 GPM'!$B$12:OFFSET('150 GPM'!$B$12,COUNTA('150
GPM'!$B$12:$B$65536)-1,0)

I want to use this sheet (including the embedded graph) as a template
that can be copied to quickly process other data series.

The problem is that when the worksheet is copied, the graph source
data on the copied sheet still refers to the original sheet named
ranges. My intent was to have it update to refer to the named ranges
on the new sheet. I thought this used to work in a previous version
of Excel but it could just be my memory playing tricks on me.

Can anyone offer tips on how to get the graph source data series to
update to refer to the correct named ranges ?

Thank You
