excerpt and excerpt-include macro does not work in reporting block or table

I wanted to use the excerpt macro to only define once all the report-columns for displaying data at top of the page and later reuse this definition in other report tables on the same page.

Unfortunately excerpt macro does not work within reporting plugin
