Quick question about creating tables

I've got a Power BI dashboard that has four tables.  One table has a unique value (email address) that i use as the key to create a relationship with the othe three tables.

 

I'm trying to create a table for metrics, that will include columns from each of the tables, but only allows me to data from two tables.  Is there a limit on the number of tables that can be used when creating another table using summarize?

there shall be no limit. But the first table argument shall be from the many side of the relationships of other column arguments, like this:

SUMMARIZE(

   FactTable, Dim1[Col1], Dim2[Col2]...

)

 

i tried and it worked like this:

So I was actully mistaken.  I can bring data in from 3 of the 4 tables.  I tried your suggestion, but still can only bring data in from 3 of the 4 tables.

can you share the code and result with a screenshot?
