Force Excel import to fail when there is text in numeric column

$

Hello, I import excel files via SSIS to a sql server table. In order to get numeric values for a column that sometimes can have no entries or blank cells, I have set 8 template rows at the top with 0,00 to import this as type money. What I noticed is, that text entered somewhere in this column will be replaced with NULL in the DB. But instead of NULL I would like the import to fail. To get the user to correct it. I also have calculation formulas for that column that can produce blank cells but these I don't mind being imported as NULL (which it does right now). Is there a setting in SQL Server or somewhere else that would help me get this job done or is this a tricky task? thank you.
