I need to call LINEST in Excel 2011 for Mac, I would say - this was a detective story. My laziness, my curiosity, all was here! I had a homework from university course to use LINEST.
I even stopped trying to do so on MAC, because after googling I could not find any solution how to do it. (I have tried EACH AND EVERY combination of Fn Ctrl Alt Cmd Return!)
Finally, I found a solution here on stack overflow! I want to mention it again, as it was a long time I spent looking for the solution. I have spent 4 days outside of home, to use just windows PC where it is easy as a pie - F2, CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
If you want to check if I tell truth - go to HELP in Excel for Mac, type array formula, find LINEST and look at the solution combination!
The solution: select the range, press CONTROL+U and then press ⌘+RETURN.

Enter an array formula Select the cells where you want to see your results. Enter your formula. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Excel fills each of the cells you selected with the result.
Excel provides two types of array formulas: Array formulas that perform several calculations to generate a single result and array formulas that calculate multiple results. Some worksheet functions return arrays of values, or require an array of values as an argument.
Important: Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter whenever you need to enter an array formula. This applies to both single-cell and multi-cell formulas. Whenever you work with multi-cell formulas, also remember: Select the range of cells to hold your results before you enter the formula.
This doesn't seem to work in Mac Excel 2016. After a bit of digging, it looks like the key combination for entering the array formula has changed from ⌘+RETURN to CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN.
