measure for highlighting selected row in a table visual

All

 

I have a table visual which I'd like to find a way to highlight the selected row in the table with a different color or at minimum make the gray darker, so you can keep your eye on what is selected. The default is just to light and it is hard to track what line i'm on. I've tried numerous measures like:

 

Selected_Row_Color =
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('crowley_data'[Customer ID]) <> BLANK(),
    "#FFFF99", // Light yellow background for selected rows
    "#FFFFFF" // Default white background for unselected rows
)
 
All this does when I apply it as conditional formatting is highlight the entire column I've applied it to, so not what I want.
 
Nothing works. when applying the measure all it does it highlight the entire row when selected. Is there any way to have a color change on the selected field in a column, the whole row - or to bold the entire row when selected - something to make just the row stand out?
 
I'm at a loss.
