Limits of the Linest function in Excel

Hi, I'm trying to use the Linest function to perform linear regression on a set of data. My known ys are in one row, and there are 65 values. I'm trying to fit those values against 27 known xs (ie - an array with 27 rows and 65 columns) however, I'm getting a #ref error. The error seems to go away when I limit my known xs to 16 rows. I'm sure I've used this function with known x arrays of greater than 16 rows before, and there's no mention of a limit to the number of rows in the help docs, so I don't think it's an excel limitation. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the error?
