Thanks for the surprisingly prompt reply. However...
Alas and alack, one would think so, but it actually returns the $VALUE
error. Strangely enough, if the interleaved cells are blank, the
formula evaluation seems to show them evaluating to 0, which would be
good enough, but in actuality some of them are per force not blank.
Forgot to mention that I thought the problem might involve the
mysterious use of <Ctrl><Shift><Enter>, but I wasn't able to get any
joy from that approach, either. I wound up just hard-coding the cells
in that part of the spreadsheet, but sumproduct would have been a much
more elegant solution... I'm still curious where I went wrong.

Check your formula once more. Are you sure that the ranges are equal size. I'm
guessing that your post was not the real formula that you're using.
Do you have any hidden cells in either of those ranges? Do those hidden cells
contain errors?

Hi
As Dave said, text values in either of the arrays do not cause the
Sumproduct formula to fail.
Can you list out what the 16 values are you have in the two ranges?
