Then I guess you can't avoid using intermediate cells. A few worksheet
functions seem to be implemented inconsistently with respect to array
formulas, and INDEX appears to be one of them. If you select 4 worksheet
cells and array enter
=INDEX(LINEST($A$1:$A$7,$C$1:$E$7),{4,3,2,1})
then you will get the four coefficients; but embedded in another function
within an array formula like
=COUNT(INDEX(LINEST($A$1:$A$7,$C$1:$E$7),{4,3,2,1} ))
Excel only sees a single value from it. What the developers were thinking
here eludes me.

This looks good - except it doesn't seem to be passing all the
arguments. I tried it both as and as not an array (ctrl sft enter). I
also through a =count() around the entire thing and it returns a "1"

In which case, you simply add anotherarraycomponent to Bernard's suggestion
=INDEX(LINEST($A$1:$A$7,$C$1:$E$7),{4,3,2,1})
gives thearrayof estimates in the order that you desire.

This would be a bit impractical as I'm dealing with a 12+ variable
multiple regression.
I'd need to find someway to not have to store each of the regression
coefficients in unique cells.
