Range in Formula messes up with Query refresh

I have one worksheet (ReportableQuery) that populates via a Microsoft Query.
Another worksheet (ChartData) has a cell with the following formula in cell B9 (through V9 respectively)

Code:
=(SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4,ReportableQuery!$W$25:$W$2052))+0,ROW(ReportableQuery!$W$25:INDEX(ReportableQuery!$W$25:$W$2052,COLUMNS(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4)))^0)>0),--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$A$4,ReportableQuery!$L$25:$L$2052))+0,ROW(ReportableQuery!$L$25:INDEX(ReportableQuery!$L$25:$L$2052,COLUMNS(ChartData!$A$4)))^0)>0),--(ReportableQuery!$I$25:$I$2052-DAY(ReportableQuery!$I$25:$I$2052)+1=ChartData!C$7)))

The formula itself works great (can't remember who to give kudos to but someone on this forum helped me with that one)

However, when I do a Data Refresh on the query on the RepoortableQuery worksheet, somehow the formula changes to $W$25:$W$25.

Note: the query is run by a number of Macros in VB that has a userform that collects the info for the query parameters, etc.
Part of that VB Macro deletes the data from the query 1st (Because there are non-query columns with formulas that have to be re-input)
So I'm guessing by the VB deleting the rows that were originally in this formula automatically updates the formula on the other worksheet to say "my range changed".
I tried writing a VB to repopulate these formulas on the ChartData worksheet (Cell B9) but I believe the formula's too long or something for VB.
Anyway, with all that said, any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Define a dynamic range.

Define $W$25 as "DataUL" (data upper left)

Define a name "Data" refersto: =offset(dataul,0,0,counta(W:W),1)

No matter how many rows are returned, 'data' will always contain the enitire set of rows.

Then, in the formula as seen above do I change the ranges to something like this?
Code:
...(ReportableQuery!DataUL:Data)...

I know how to define the dynamic range; however, how do I use the defined names in my current formula?

I tried taking out the ranges as they appear in the formula currently:
Code:
=(SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4,ReportableQuery!$W$25:$W$2052))+0,ROW(ReportableQuery!$W$25:INDEX(ReportableQuery!$W$25:$W$2052,COLUMNS(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4)))^0)>0),--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$A$4,ReportableQuery!$L$25:$L$2052))+0,ROW(ReportableQuery!$L$25:INDEX(ReportableQuery!$L$25:$L$2052,COLUMNS(ChartData!$A$4)))^0)>0),--(ReportableQuery!$I$25:$I$2052-DAY(ReportableQuery!$I$25:$I$2052)+1=ChartData!C$7)))
and replaced them with the defined names and it made the formula look like this:
Code:
=(SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4,'TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!DataUL:Data))+0,ROW('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!DataUL:INDEX('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!DataUL:Data,COLUMNS(ChartData!$B$4:$E$4)))^0)>0),--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(ChartData!$A$4,'TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!PF_DataUL:PF_Data))+0,ROW('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!PF_DataUL:INDEX('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!PF_DataUL:PF_Data,COLUMNS(ChartData!$A$4)))^0)>0),--('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!Date_DataUL:Date_Data-DAY('TEMPLATEProductFamily-ReportedCode-Test.xls'!Date_DataUL:Date_Data)+1=ChartData!C$7)))
It returns a value of #REF!

Please help.

Thanks

New problem with the Defined dyamic ranges.
When I look at the "Data" defined ranges (ie. Data, PF_Data, Date_Data)
the ranges always go over the data by like 2 rows. I can't have any blanks, because I've tested my formula above both ways. One with over-extending into blank rows and once without and the only time the formula works is when the search is searching in ranges with definite data.

I can't quite figure out why the dynamic ranges are going over like that. Any ideas?
