The Excel AutoFilters only lets you filter 2 things out (when using the Custom Filter.)
Here’s an easy way to implement filtering for as many sources as you want
I have a little area on the spreadsheet (cells AB5 - AB11) with sources that are “Inacessible” to me (either because I don’t have the professions, or my guild doesn’t do these raid zones):
Sunwell
Hyjal
Black Temple
The Eye
Engineering
Jewelcrafting
World Boss
Then I have next to it:
=OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$5,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$6,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$7,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$8,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$9,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$10,$V5)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH($AB$11,$V5)))
- $V5 = the field with the source. (Honor, Sunwell Plateu, The Eye, etc.)
- $AB$5 = Sunwell, $AB$6 = Hyjal, $AB$7 = Black Temple, etc. These values have $ on both row and column because they should always refer to the same area on the spreadsheet.
What it does is it searches the Source field against any of the stuff I defined above. If it finds a match, it sets it to True. If not, False. And then you can use the AutoFilter to show ONLY the False items, and those are the items that are “Accessible”
Here’s a screenshot for a good visualization:

You can also use “0″ for placeholders / future filters. That way if you want an extra filter, you don’t have to modify the above formula with an extra “ISNUMBER(SEARCH” field and then copy it down the entire list of items. You can just have 1 formula with like 10 “ISNUMBER(SEARCH” fields and wherever you have defined your raid zones, just put a 0 for placeholders. (Blank will always yield true, so must put a 0.)

Also, for even more added fun! In the screenshot I have a “Both Negative?” column. I wanted a way to filter out all items in which I would lose DPS on “Full Stats” and I would lose DPS on “Ignore Hit”. In that case, the item is completely useless to me, since it would never yield a DPS increase. The equation for that is:
=AND(ISNUMBER(IF(S28<=0, 1, “No”)),ISNUMBER(IF(U28<=0, 1, “No”)))

Anywho, hope this makes it easier to implement zone-filtering on the Items tab

P.S. About the 2 rings/trinkets, I figured it out. In Gear/Buffs, I just put the same ring/trinket for both slots (even if unique) and that works great =]
