Datamart Incremental Refresh - Loading data failed

I'm testing the incremental refresh feature with a Datamart and do not understand the resulting error. Below are the steps to reproduce my error.

 

The data source is a simple Excel workbook with 13 rows of data:

These are the incremental refresh settings:

After clicking "Save", the status window displays the "Wrapping things up" step for ~30 minutes:

After ~30 minutes, I receive this error message:

Someone posted a similar problem here, but the original poster mentioned they immediately received the error, whereas mine takes a while to appear. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

In case it's helpful to someone at Microsoft, here is the full text of the error message:

 

InternalError

Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
