how can i make text flash

[BROOKO]

need to make a cell flash when it gets to a certain level on a spread sheet

 

[Bernard Liengme]

Please don't. It's hard to do and even harder to look at!
Just use Format|Conditional Formatting to make the cell red
best wishes

Bob, it would only be an abomination if I used it in the "prepared by Lambs"
cell, thereby taking all the credit for your and all the MVPs' assistance.

Brooko, thanks for asking the question. Now, where else can I put my name up
in lights..?

Disagree mate, flashing text is an annoying distraction at best, it may even
be illegal in some countries.

It can cause epileptic seizures in some people.

The only wat I know to make a cell flash is a macro that changes th
text colour or the background colour or text style.

If you want a macro for this then you will need to list the paramaters
eg what cell/s
what to change
how ong
what triggers the flashing
what stops the flashin
