Catalog variables are an important part of ServiceNow, which allows catalog items to store their information. This report will provide an overview of all variable values based on the Catalog Item. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you can't dot walk a reference variable in reporting

You can use database view and add that extra table example: sys_user here and then add the respective columns

Databases view by request item and service catalog (variable)
