            If xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 1).text <> String.Empty And xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 2).text <> String.Empty And xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 3).text <> String.Empty And xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 4).text <> String.Empty Then
                rowcount += 1
                DataGridView1.Rows.Add(rowcount, xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 1).text, xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 2).text, xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 3).text, xlRange.Cells(xlRow, 4).text)

            Me.Refresh()

The simplest way is to use ADO.NET:

VB.NET

Dim sFileName As String = "FullFileNameHere"
	Dim sConStr = String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties='Excel 12.0;HDR=YES';", sFileName)
	Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable()
	
	'1. create connection
	Using connection AS OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(sConStr)
		Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$] WHERE TextColumn Like ?;"
		connection.Open()
		'2. create command
		Using command As OleDbCommand= New OleDbCommand(sql, connection)
			command.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter() With {.OleDbType = OleDbType.VarChar, .Value="%SomeValue%"})
			'3. read data
			Dim reader As OleDbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
			'4. load data into datatable
			dt.Load(reader)
		End Using
	End Using
'now, bind data
DataGridView1.DataSource = dt
