Conditionally Format Matrix Column based on Date

Hello,

I am attempting to create a matrix visual of sales data, comparing Current Year over Prior Year, by Week.  I would like to be able to highlight current week.  I have a column in my dataset that flags the current week number of "5". I cannot figure out why I cannot conditionally format the value, based on the week_number being equal to current_week_number.  

 

In this example below, I would like to highlight column "5".

@Anonymous add a measure for highlight and then use field value in conditional formatting to highlight.

 

Current Week Highlight = 
VAR __currentWeekNumber = CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table[WeekNumber] ), Table[CurrentWeekFlag] = "Yes" )
RETURN
IF ( MAX ( Table[WeekNumber] ) = __currentWeekNumber, "Red" )

Thank you so much!  

 

I added to it, to turn it into a SWITCH statement.  This is because I have about 7 different customers that run on different fiscal calendars.  If there is a better way to handle this, let me know. Otherwise, it's working as intended.  Thanks again!

 

 

Current Week Highlight =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
VALUES('Demand Group'[DEMAND_GROUP])="TSC",VAR __currentWeekNumber = CALCULATE ( MAX ('D_DATES (All)'[TSC_FISCAL_WEEK_NBR] ), 'D_DATES (All)'[CAL_DATE] = VALUES('D_DATES (All)'[TSC LAST QOH DATE]))
RETURN
IF (MAX ('D_DATES (Weekly)'[TSC_FISCAL_WEEK_NBR] ) = __currentWeekNumber, "Yellow" ),
VALUES('Demand Group'[DEMAND_GROUP])="LOWES",VAR __LCWNumber = CALCULATE (MAX ('D_DATES (All)'[LOWES_FISCAL_WEEK_NBR]), 'D_DATES (ALL)'[CAL_DATE] = VALUES('D_DATES (All)'[LOWES LAST QOH DATE]))
RETURN
IF (MAX('D_DATES (Weekly)'[LOWES_FISCAL_WEEK_NBR] ) = __LCWNumber, "Yellow"))
