Default Conditional format for complete column

Hi I have the following conditional rule in column Z3
=AE3<(TODAY()-30)

I want to apply it for 50 cells more it means from Z3:Z53 using the
information from AE3:AE50.

Is there a way to do it in just 1 step I don't want to creat 50 rules.

I'm using Vista

Default Conditional format for complete column

CF automatically assign the formula to all cells within the selection

1. Select the cell/Range Z3:Z53. Please note that the row reference 3
mentioned in the formula is the active row in the selection. Active cell in
the active row will have a white background even after selection
2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting
3. For Condition1Select 'Formula Is' and enter the below formula
=AE3<(TODAY()-30)
4. Click Format ButtonPattern and select your color (say Red)
5. Hit OK

PS: If you are using XL2007 Goto Home tabStylesConditional
FormattingManage rulesNew ruleUse a formula to determine which cells to
format. Enter the formula in the box below.
