For an Excel file of this size, it works better to use the option "Values Only (very fast)" for Data Distinction. For most files, FlexSim will ask Excel for each cell's data, verify that data, and send back a confirmation to Excel. This is time consuming. With "Values Only (very fast)," however, it is much more efficient because FlexSim asks for Excel to send all the data at once, cutting processing time ten-fold.

Try using "Values Only (very fast)" to import Excel files of this size.
