NAME the three dimensions you think you see - I have seen none.

Cells arrayed with data from different sources: 1 dimension, not three. Data being alphanumeric, or binary (there's no difference in video or sound!): 1 dimension.
Data belonging to explicit and specific subjects (explain the difference!): 1 dimension.

What cannot be solved in a (flat! 1 dimensional!) table with a structure like:
Key Indicator | Subject | Data Type | Data
