If you're importing the data, the only tool you have to evaluate whether that data is valid for the column or not is the code you write. This is called "validation".

Excel doesn't have any method to restrict this by itself. You either have to write VBA code into the Excel sheet to do the validation at the time of entry or you have to write code into your website (I'm assuming) that validates the data as it's being read for import.
