Can be achieved in 2 Steps:
1. Create the list of dimension elements using formula below, in a far-end column of the current spreadsheet tab or in a separate tab in the current spreadsheet.
Col A - Contains Index
Col B - Contains "DIMNM(<<Dimension>>,<<Col A>>)"
Scroll down these 2 lists to get the list of elements

2. Create a Excel drop down from data-validation option by referring to the list in Step-1.
