excel file too big

I created an Excel file that I saved on my iPad Air 2 (using iOS 8.3). I am getting the error message "Excel can't open this workbook because its too large." The file is 141.35MB. I've tried to save it to "Move to Cloud" or "Share" and email to myself. Both methods fail. Move to Cloud error message is "Download Failed." Share email error message states, "File is too large to email." The file option does not include a "Link to file" option. Is there any other way to get this file out of the iPad? Thank you

iPad Air, iOS 8.3
