Conditional Formatting Specific Items Using Calculation Group

Hello,

I have a set of time intelligence calulation items in a calculation group, I want to apply conditional formatting to only YoY% variance columns.

I essentially want to achieve something similar to whats above. The Measures of Valuations come from a different calculation group.

I have created a calculated item with the following DAX, to attempt to call specific columns then conditionally format based on this.

Conditional Formatting Time Periods =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDMEASURENAME () IN { "Dynamic Measure" },
        VAR currenTimeIntelCalcItem = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calculation Group - KPI Datasheet'[Name] )
         
        VAR measure_selected =SELECTEDMEASURE ()
            
        RETURN
            SWITCH (
                TRUE (),
                currenTimeIntelCalcItem = "YoY% Week",                    
                IF ( measure_selected < 0, -1, IF ( measure_selected > 0, 1, 0 ) ),                                      
                BLANK ()
            ),
    SELECTEDMEASURE ()
)
 
When i apply conditional formatting based on [Dynamic Measure], and filter the visual by this above calculation item nothing happens. 
 
Could anyone offer any guidance?
 
Thanks
