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. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com "Hecwill" wrote in message ... How to make a cell twinks when a condition is met in excel ? |

Why is it not recommended?

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. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... You'd have to use some kind of procedure that runs every second or two.
