You can literally type in a new value into a cell. It can also be changed by using controls, such as scroll bars, dropdown lists, spinners etc. The value a cell has may change as a result of a formula, though tecjhnically if it has a formula in it, then that is not really a value even if it shows a value, as what is actually stored in the cell is a formula.

Excel does not have a blinking format. However, you would use conditional formatting to change the format of a cell that equals a predefined value.
Static is something that does not change. So you could answer the question in a number of ways. If you type an actual value into a cell, that value will not change. Whereas if you type in a formula, the result it will display can change, depending on other things that happen in the spreadsheet. Other static information about a cell could be the actual cell reference, and even breaking that down to the column it is on and the row it is on.Static is something that does not change.

The F4 key can be used as you are typing in the cell reference in order to change it to a different reference type.
conditional
There is no way to have a value in one cell put a formula in another cell. However, you can put a formula in a cell that will change, based on the value of another cell. If you put the formula =A1 in cell B1, B1 will display the value of whatever you place in cell A1.
Conditions formatting (CF) is a tool that allows you to apply formats to a cell or range of and have that formatting change depending on the value of cell or the value of a formula
They are buttons that can be added to a worksheet and associated with a cell to allow you to quickly change the value in the cell by clicking on the button rather than having to type a new value into a cell.

You use formulas. Formulas can depend on the values in other cells. If you are summing a group of cells, then any change in those cells, will change the total. You can also make a cell exactly the same as another by and equals sign and a cell reference. So if you have a value in cell C10 and wanted cell B12 to show the same thing even when C10 has its value changed, then in B12 you would put:=C10You use formulas.

Worksheets have lots of formulas and they use values in cells. So if you change a value in a cell, any formula that uses that cell directly or indirectly can be affected by the change. How many other parts of the worksheet it will affect will depend on the particular worksheet, as each will have different formulas. Changing a value in a cell could affect one cell or many cells.
By linking it to a cell it can allow you to quickly change the value in the cell by clicking on the button rather than having to type a new value into a cell. This is useful if it is a cell that is regularly changed by fixed amounts. It can be good for testing values in formulas.
