Use of dynamic numeric axis to indicate and highlight data ranges

A system comprising:

• a processor comprising an exception highlight module having a user interface module, an exception highlight rules module, and an exception highlight visualization module,
• the user interface module configured to receive highlight rules for a graph from a selection of a portion of an axis of the graph,
• the exception highlight rules module configured to identify portions of the graph satisfying the highlight rules, and
• the exception highlight visualization module configured to generate visualization on the graph to highlight the identified portions of the graph satisfying the highlight rules.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, performs operations comprising:

• receiving highlight rules tot a graph from a selection of a portion of an axis of the graph;
• identifying, using at least one processor, portions of the graph satisfying the highlight rules;
• and
• generating visualization on the graph to highlight the identified portions of the graph satisfying the highlight rules.
