Making a row blink as a warning.

[Anthony]

I am setting up an excel sheet, so that it can help me know when instruments
need calibartion or PMs. I want to make a row blink or flash.

It's possible with VBA.

However, note that blinking text is a violation of Section 508 (29
U.S.C. 794d) for government sites in the US, as certain blink rates can
cause seizures in epileptics.

Hi,

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

Please don't even consider making the row blink; wouldn't a
conditional format that made the row red be enough of a statement, so
you don't torture anyone?
