How to only display traffic from particular sources in a Google Analytics dashboard widget

I can't believe this is as difficult as I'm finding it to be, so I must be missing something obvious!

I want to track data from two particular ads, one on TheSixFifty.com and one in the mountain view voice email newsletter. I've gotten as far as identifying these two sources in a table:

I want to only display those two sources, so I thought a filter would be the way to do that, set up like so:

But that results in this sad, sad empty table:

Please tell me what I am doing wrong! Does "containing" not mean what I think it does? Help!

You're right - it is something simple!

Your filter contains an AND statement, so it will only show data where the source contains BOTH mv-voice.com and TheSixFifty.com.

Your filter should look like:

Only show Source Matching RegEx:

(TheSixFifty|mv-voice)\.com

Here's a great intro to Regular Expressions from Robbin Steif's guide, they'll be incredibly useful for any analysis.
