Hi guys,

Is there a way that I can make a cell data blinking in Excel worksheet
either by using any property or scripting ?

Pls. let me know.

It is possible, but don't do this.

Blinking is not supported in Excel, but you can use some macros using
ontime.

Here is a repeat of a posting by Bill Manville using ontime.

This one by Norman Harker is activated at workbook open

When this is running, it will be running whether you see it or not,
whether you have that sheet, or even that workbook selected or not.
Personally I would find it *very* annoying no matter what the reason.

There are other choices such as Cell Validation or Conditional Formatting
that might serve your purposes better and won't have as much overhead,
and certainly won't have the high annoyance factor of blinking cells.

If you still want to simulate blinking cells, you will need to choose your
colors. This may help, if we haven't convinced you yet not make cells
blink.
