Table with colour coding

I'm looking to create a table with our employees and their statistics and I want each box to be colour coded (red/green) based on how much percent higher or lower it is compared to the last week. How would I go about doing this?

@morgancampbell , Create a color measure and use that in conditional formatting with "Field Value" option

 

Color Measure =
var _avgDisc = CALCULATE([Percent %],ALL(Retail))
return switch(TRUE(),
[Percent %] <_avgDisc , "Red",
[Percent %] >_avgDisc , "Green", "Black")
