 reviewing other tabs of my report, I found that one of them had an errant field in the "Drill Through" filter.

Thank you for posting this. PBI can be quite flakey, so I had assumed it was a corrupted pbix file, but after reading this post I found the same cause as you identified.

Quick note to Microsoft...it would be useful to trap and report on these errors in a more meaningful way.
