Analyst - macro with Command(zero). Contributor - in my opinion - Analyst Contributor link.

Analyst -- @Command(zero), surely.
Contributor -- Import with zero data option set. No files are required -- just select cubes. Another way -- Access Tables with No Data set, gtp, Delete AT, gtp.

I agree with the Analyst method.

For contributor an Admin link with a "zero" dimension as the source seems to be the best if your data is purely numeric. Analyst-to-Contributor links are a pain to set up and run, but they are required to zero out d-list formatted fields.
