Very large cubeset (large number of elements)

$

I've looked and not found any relevant information- is there a limit on the number of elements in a cubeset being called from Excel?

I have a list of over 18,000 items and need to run an analysis for just that group of items, and I decided to try to create a cubeset and use cubeformulas to pull the results. Each item is a cubemember is a seperate cell (G4:G18285).

When I try to use a smaller cubset range, I get results as expected:

H1=CUBESET("BIRC",INDIRECT("G4:G1330"))

I1=CUBEVALUE("BIRC", H1, H2, H3)  'H2 and H3 are the measure and a filter) = 595,251

but when I expand the source range just a little (and still nowhere near my 18K cells):

H1=CUBESET("BIRC",INDIRECT("G4:G1335"))

My H1 calculates (seemingly without errors), but I1 turns into #N/A

If I expand just a little more,

H1=CUBESET("BIRC",INDIRECT("G4:G1340"))

Then H1 and I1 are both #N/A

I also tried creating smaller cubesets and then merging them in a new cubeset (just to see what would happen) but I can't get a working syntax, or maybe it isn't possible:

H1=CUBESET("BIRC",INDIRECT("G4:G1300"))

J1=CUBESET("BIRC",INDIRECT("G1301:G1400"))

K1=CUBESET("BIRC",({H1,J1})) = "the formula you typed contains an error"

K1=CUBESET("BIRC",(H1,J1)) = #N/A

Question 1: What are the functional limits of CUBESET source ranges/cells?

Question 2: What is the best approach to build a large cubeset like this in Excel, to drive an analysis?

Thanks!!
