    From Excel side, I'd suggest using Macro code to control the submission members in use at each data point. This way, you can pinpoint the specific UD member where submission is allowed. 

    Like Eric suggested, you can also use "No Input" in Biz Rule - Finance - Conditional Input, don't forget to assign the rule to the cube in question.

    If (Not scenarioType.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Actual")) And (Not scenarioType.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Budget")) And (Not scenarioType.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("ScenarioType1")) Then
    If entityText8 = "" And (Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) Then
    Return ConditionalInputResultType.NoInput
    End If
    End If
