It should be still supported, the only change I can find is that the table that you're referencing can't have a row filter applied to it. Has the users table got any type of row filter on it? It also can't create any type of circular reference.

Hi @alxsbn ,  The Metric View joins are designed for "Many-to-One" relationships. Because orders and lineitem have a One-to-Many relationship (one order has multiple line items), you cannot join lineitem onto an orders-based Metric View and aggregate...
