Changing cell color based on value

Question

I have a libreoffice/excel spreadsheet that has thousands of rows in one column. I would like to have the cell change color base on it's value. How can this be done?

Example:
23   
42   
42
53
56

All rows with 42 would change cell color to blue

Thanks

use conditional formatting. Select the range and apply conditional formatting for equals operation. Available in the Home tab in excel 2007 and 2010
