unique macro
Is it possible to write a macro that causes a cell value to flash or blink if the cell value fails to meet a maximum or minimum value?
Instead of flashing or blinking (which can be dangerous for some users, and irritating to others), you can use conditional formatting to make the cell stand out - you can change the cell's font style, fill color and/or borders.
- aggie_aguirre5260Copper ContributorI appreciate your suggestion, but I prefer to have the cell value flashing or blinking. That is more "eye-catching" than simply changing font and/or cell color. BTW, I'm the only one that will be using the spreadsheet, so there isn't a concern that it would be dangerous or irritating to others. So, my question still stands, is my preference possible?
It's possible, but I still strongly recommend against it. It would require VBA code to run every second or so, and this will most likely interfere with the normal operation of the workbook.
