Cause

The report was created using this field in the query and in the Runtime filter. However, the field was removed from the Data Model and the report is not working properly.

Resolution

As the field was removed and does not exist anymore, you cannot report on it. If you edit report and cannot remove the field, as a workaround recreate the report.
