Add option to add a row identifier for a table to avoid circular dependency error in DAX

I am introducing Power BI to our company and am the first one that gets adressed when our beginners run into issues.

A common issue is that users add two calculated columns to a given table, one to define a friendly name for some status code and another one to sort that names column in custom order. They usually get a "circular dependency error".

The root cause for this seems to be the fact that in Power BI Desktop, you can not set a row identifier for a table, whereas in Excel and SSAS Tabular that is possible.
Please add this functionality!
