I have a table that resembles this:
<table height="41" width="201"><tbody><tr> <th>x</th> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><th>y</th> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><th align="center">var</th> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><th>Stat Sig</th><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">1</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">0</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">1</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">SS</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">0</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">0</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">0</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td>
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">-1</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">0</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">-1</td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td align="center">SS</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td><td style="vertical-align: top;">
</td></tr></tbody></table>
It's sorted greatest to least by Var. There can be variances that are not statistically significant.

I need to define 2 named ranges to be used on a scatter chart, like this:
Named_Range_X = {A2,A4}
Named_Range_Y = {B2,B4}

I only need cells where there appears "SS" in column 4.

Can I do this using vba? If so is there a character limit on the string I can pass to define the range?
