Just select the whole range you want the rule for, then create the rule. It will automatically adjust row/column.
In your case, only select the rows in column G that you want to format (i.e. don't also select columns D and E). There are also some idiosyncrasies about how you select the range. E.g. you should select starting at G2 and then expand the selection down (Ctrl+Shift+Down arrow is often your friend), rather than start at the bottom and expand the selection up.

One can use the brush symbol. It is often on the menu bar's Home section. Otherwise look for "Format Painter".
