- Have a tab for each year with the all of the dimensions in your model and an amount field. All the tokens where the value is static can be set in the dimension token and that column hidden, and the dimensions where you have varying values i.e. Account and UD5 in your example you would add as an additional row for each unique intersection.
- Same as above but all data is on a single tab and you use a Matrix load where Time is the Matrix Member in the dimension token row
