Visio 2013, changed Excel data source (with identical cell references) but Visio now doesn't recognise "column names"

I see "Refresh Conflicts" "The following Shapes were linked to rows that were removed from the data source" but as stated, this is a copied Excel workbook, where the sheet's column names are identical, but with new row contents.

Think DB table with first row having record names, then rows below having content... visio is using this content to name and fill in details for multiple shapes.

The connection to the new workbook succeeds, and the excel "column" names (first row) are identical -

Why is this impacting the relationship between the data and the visio shapes?

Further - using the "automatically link rows to shapes" wizard, does not repair, even though the data column and shape field are correctly mapped.

Thanks to all in advance.
