Try like:

=If(Above(Sum(Measure))>Sum(Measure), Green(), Red())            // background color expression

Similarly you can use Below() as well.

See attached sample too.

Above() - as the name says - it gets the value(expression here) of the earlier row. Then, rest part is simple comparison might not require explanation. For details, please refer help or reference manual.
