DAX Measure and Background Colour Not Working

I have written a DAX and upon that I want to do color Coding based on certain conditions, 

DAX Code 

Reporting months = var MAXD=MAX('Dim_Date'[MMDDYYYY])
var Last13M = DATESINPERIOD('ABCD'[DateOfSample],MAXD,-12,MONTH)
RETURN
Calculate(Sum('ABCD'[Value]),REMOVEFILTERS('Dim_Date'),KEEPFILTERS(Last13M),USERELATIONSHIP('Dim_Date'[MMDDYYYY],'ABCD'[DateOfSample]))
 
I Have three columns now, Value, EFG, ZPR

Based on the condition on the above three columns, I need to give a background color. It could be like

DAX M = SWITCH(TRUE(),
Value > 1, "Some color"

Value = -1 , "Some color"
 
Value > EFG, " Some Color",

Value < ZPR, "Some Color"

"Some color")

But when I do it in the conditional formatting, it doesn't work and highlights only the selected month-year combination and nothing apart from it. You can also see we are using Value column in the measure. 

Any heads up?

Sharing a dummy Power BI file representing your scenario would be beneficial. You can save the Power BI file on Google Drive or any other cloud storage platform and provide the link here. Kindly ensure that permission is granted to open the file.
