Use Excel 2010; don't know how to use VBA but want to create some flashing/blinking cells.

Here's how to do it:

Do note, IMO blinking objects should be avoided. Pay attention also to the two subnotes:

• Since the OnTime schedules a procedure every second, you'll encounter sluggish editing.
• Blinking text may not be allowed in applications for governmental bodies, since it may be in violation of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Of 1973 (since blinking text can cause seizures in epileptic patients).

Edit: Ah, Somendra beat me to it by 1 sec!
