This is a very common error produced by Office Web Applications.  When saving an Excel workbook to a SharePoint site, you can decide to save the complete workbook or only specific Named Items (includes sheets, named cells or ranges, tables, PivotTables, or charts). This is different than saving the workbook to the file system.  By default the Named Items option are not enabled or needed in direct Excel interaction. However when you uploading the workbook to SharePoint, you must edit the Publish Option (to select the entire worksheet or Individual sheet) before you Save & Sent to the SP site.
There are two ways to edit the option as showing below:

Once you set the options, you should be able to view the published workbook on the SharePoint portal now.
