      you can use DAXFormatter to make it look nicer.

      Conform =
VAR a =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Employees[User ] ),
        REMOVEFILTERS ( Employees[User ] )
    )
VAR b =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( a, "t", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Data by Week'[Total] ) ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Sorting Location'[Sorting Location] ) = "Welcome Center",
        DIVIDE (
            SUM ( 'Data by Week'[Total] ) - MINX ( b, [t] ),
            MAXX ( b, [t] ) - MINX ( b, [t] )
        )
    )

      VAR a - collects all users for the current week by removing the filter on User but keeping all other filters

      VAR b - calculates the total value of each of these users

      RETURN statement:  Instead of a ranking you do a sort of percentile-ing, from 0 to 1.  You do that by finding the minimum and maximum values for that week, and then scale them so the minimum is 0 and the maximum is 1.  The actual value will be in between, and can now serve as the basis for the color formatting in a consistent manner , regardless of the actual data ranges per week (and conveniently ignoring the blanks too).
