Unable to build pivot table in Office365 Excel 2013 when file name contains special characters

$

If I have an Excel file named "ABC- IS & Tree.xlsx", and then I try to build a pivot table in this workbook, I get the error:

"Cannot open PivotTable source file [user path]'\[ABC-IS ^0Tree.xlsx'  "  Note how the "&" in the file name is translated to ^0.

Might this have to do something with me using SkyDrive and ampersand is a reserved character perhaps?

This is very annoying. Yes, I can rename, but I receive files named like this all the time from others.
