problem_statement: [Bug]: Data conversion to Excel
### The Issue

If I convert from CSV to excel, and a parameter is not indexed over years but the last column is MODE_OF_OPERATION, the mode gets pivoted on

For example, TechnologyToStorage is given as: 
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/67297083/234377814-03b895d9-eeae-4f28-982f-ffe019c739f0.png)

### Expected Behavior

The pivot should only happen on the years column. The output should look like 

| REGION | TECH | STORAGE | MODE | VALUE | 
|---------|-------|-----------|---------|--------|
| Simplicity | HYD2 | DAM | 1 | 1 |
| Simplicity | HYD2 | DAM | 2 | 0 |

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone Simplicity with `git clone https://github.com/OSeMOSYS/simplicity.git`
2. Run `otoole convert csv excel data data.xlsx config.yaml`
3. View both the `TechnologyToStorage` and `TechnologyFromStorage` sheets, which are **not** indexed over year in the CSV files


### Log output

```bash
OtooleIndexError: TechnologyFromStorage -> Indices inconsistent between config and data. Config indices are ['REGION', 'TECHNOLOGY', 'STORAGE', 'MODE_OF_OPERATION']. Data indices are ['REGION', 'TECHNOLOGY', 'STORAGE', 'YEAR'].
```

### Operating System

Linux

### What version of otoole are you running?

Error is introduced in version 1.0.2 

### Possible Solution

_No response_

### Anything else?
