Default Blink specific data in excel

you will have to write a macro that checks the expiry dates with the system
date and flash a message.
You can set this macro to run at a specific interval or on opening the
workbook etc.

Blinking text is not advised, but if you have your heart set on it
then follow this link:

Alternatively, you could apply a conditional format to highlight the
Expiry Date as it nears the system date.

Hope this helps.
