What causes parts of my sheet to flash?

Karen Bruer

I no sooner changed a date and parts of my sheet started flashing, any idea why?

Jason Tarpinian

Are you using predecessors? I most often see this on a dependency enabled sheet that when you change a date, the successors of that task start flashing 1x1 until it gets to the end of the dependency chain. I don't know why it does it like this on successors but I never see it on formulas.

Karen Bruer

I am and I'm sure that was it. I solved it by leaving the sheet and re-opening it.

Thanks for your response.
