Hi @Anonymous ,
You can use a custom measure to calculate the differences between weeks and assign a color code to each result, and then use this measure in the conditional formatting using the option 'Field Value' (please refer to image below).
An example of a custom measure for color coding:
Color Coding =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[This Week] < [Last Week], "#DC143C" // Red
[This Week] > [Last Week], "#85cc18" // Green
[This Week] = [Last Week], "#0c0c0c" // Black
)
Hope this answer solves your problem!
If you need any additional help please @ me in your reply.

@Anonymous it was just an example of measures with the current and last week values for the metric you are trying to compare. Please let me know if you need help with this part too.
