Cell Formating
 

How to make a cell twinks when a condition is met in excel ?

Hecwill,

You've probably seen blinking formatting in Word. Excel has no such
formatting. It's possible, though not recommended to use timed macros to
do this. It works by changing the formatting periodically.

You'd have to use some kind of procedure that runs every second or two.
Personally, I think that this would be a resource hog (as well as just
irritating to the eye).

But there are lots of solutions archived on google that do just that.

Never mind the resource hog, it is simply intrusive, and is bad style
design.
