How to combine 2 statuses for different projects to one name on dashboard?

[deepali]

I have query for showing status of 2 projects . The meaning of the status is same  however they have different syntax.

Can I combine there status name to 1 like alis in sql and rename the return column to Dev-active 

project in ("project1", Project2 )AND status in ("Development - Active","Dev - Active")

No, because they're two status.

How do I solve this problem. cant we use alis like in sql or is there any other way to get the status numbers on dashboard

You don't, without code.  The status are separate things, so the report is telling you the right information at the moment.

You will need to do some agregation logic for yourself. 

Possibly the most simple option is to create a new "Aggregate Status" field with the desired options in it.  Change your reporting to use that.  Then you'll need to alter your workflows - on each change of status, you need a post-function to set the desired "aggregate status".  (There are post-functions that can set custom fields in several free add-ons)
