How to merge www domains with non www domains in Google Analytics report

I’ve encounter an issue with google analytics, I’ve created a custom report, for my domain with these parameters:

metric : pageviews dimension: hostname filters: none

The results are the table below which is exactly what I want, except that GA dissociates hostnames with www and without www.

enter image description here

In my example, I want the first and the second rows should be together and the value should be 651. How can I do this in a custom report?

You can set up an Advanced Filter as such (depending on whether you want the www or not). Assuming the latter (ie. you want to remove the www):

Field A - Extract A: Hostname; ^(www\.)?(.*)
Field B - Extract B: {leave blank}; {leave blank}
Output to - Constructor: Hostname; $A2

So in field A, you look for the hostname and break it down into the "www." part, if it exists, and the "domain.com" part (for example), and then the filter returns "domain.com".
