How can I resolve the below error message that I receive when I try to deploy my report to our our Reporting Server using BIDS?

Message:

Error : The definition of the report '/OrderAnalysis' is invalid.

Report Element:

I just received this obscure message when trying to deploy a report from BIDS.

After a little hunting I found a more descriptive error by going into the Preview window.
