Thank you, it works! But I tried to uploaded an excel file with protected cells, the system can still write data into them and break the protection. How does system know the password?

I recommend using the documentToUpdate parameter of exportDataStoreEntityToExcel to create your own Excel formatting document with headers and supported Excel formatting.
Create your Excel template and feed it to the smart service to update it, ensuring that all formatting remains intact. Remember to set includeHeader to false.

Is there any smart service that support these features?

Export data store entity to excel smart service can create dynamic excel but as you asked,

Export data store entity to excel smart service can't add data validation and protected sheet feature of excel.

Try creating another similar table which will serve as a reference for the template. On the button or link use Export DSE to excel to create a empty document with headers. Since both the tables have similar structure, the created excel file can be used as a template to import to the main table

primaryTabe: Id | Col 1 | Col 2 | ... |Col n

primaryTabTemplate: Id | Col 1 | Col 2 | ... |Col n
