I had a similiar problem before, I don't think you can really do anything about that, it just doesn't read it if it's too big.

You can, however, get around this issue if you open multiple tables in your Excel file, and just read them in a loop, however, all I needed to do was load the values into a List of Lists, and not a dataset, so I could easily push each column from each table and its' values into the lists, but I'm not sure how well that would work if you split your tables.
Still a room for thought, maybe you have a way you can twick this with too.

Unfortunately, I can't give you the code I used, as this was done in my work PC that has no Internet connection.
