Is it possible to make a cell that is coloured/containing text flash on and
off say over a 3-4 second cylce.

Fortunately Excel doesn't have an inbuilt function to achieve this. I say
fortunately because in the view of many; including myself, it would be an
irritating distraction that would make me immediatly close the workbook.
Having got that off my chest and if you must do this then look here
