RDS-ERR-1018 The IBM Cognos BI Report [Name] Could Not Be Run

A message indicates that the expected response was not returned by IBM® Cognos® Analytics. An error was returned by IBM Cognos Analytics when the report was run or refreshed. One of the following may be the cause:

PowerPoint does not contain the necessary facilities to recreate the rich formatting and layout of this report.
Check the IBM Cognos Analytics error log for troubleshooting information. If the report in question was not able to be rendered, adjust the report to remove the formatting and layout to expose the data in PowerPoint, where you can modify formatting and layout.
You tried to refresh a Series 7 PowerPoint report that was migrated to IBM Cognos Analytics. Series 7 content is not accessible from the Series 7 PowerPlay® Enterprise Server, and the IBM Cognos Report Data Service (RDS) is attempting to resolve the path of the PowerCube data source.
In IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office, ensure that the value of the Search Path property of the report matches the search path of the same report that was migrated to IBM Cognos Analytics and published to IBM Cognos Connection.
For prompted reports in IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office using Microsoft Excel, if you have set, in the Properties pane, prompt values to be retrieved from a cell reference and the value in the cell reference is invalid for the prompt, you receive this error message.
We recommend that you select Always Prompt as this is the best practice for prompted reports.
