title: Can you update a DAX function from an unrelated slicer?
body: <p>In Power BI, is there a way to have a DAX function that uses the value currently selected in a slicer that has independent data?</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I have a table where each row is a customer, and I have a separate table with a list of colors (which doesn't have any logical join with the customers - it's just a list of colors) - is there a way to set it up so that when the slicer selects "Red", the customer's name will be shown as "Bob Smith Red", if the slicer selects "Orange", the customer's name will be shown as "Bob Smith Orange", etc.</p>
