Hi,

In my sheet I have in column R2:R500 different amounts to be paid based on a certain date(s) in column D2:D500.

These date(s) passed, column O2:O500 will show a higher amount (original amount with penalty) an I want those cells blinking and not the ones where amount is equal.

I am totally aware that blinking cells are not good for anyone with photo-sensitive epilepsy, which doesn't apply to me and the workbook is for my eyes only and will not be shared.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards
AK

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand

This blinking effect can be done with vba but if you want the blinking to run continuously, it will require some type of timer/cyclical event which will slow down excel tremendously
