I have a spreadsheet.csv with the following info:
date, SID
16/03/2016, x555xx5x5
...

I want to add the SID value as Account_Name to search:

index=blah source=blah.log Account_Name= |stats count

Whats the most efficient method and example in distributed environment?

Thanks in advance!

Try something like this (based on where you've your csv file, choose between inputcsv( if in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk) or inputlookup (if it's added as lookup table file $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/AppName/lookups)

index=blah source=*blah.log [inputcsv spreadsheet.csv | stats count by SID | table SID | rename SID as Account_Name] |stats count
