Creating a GIF animation with multiple Excel charts comparing the rates of Swiss operators to Swiss mobiles

Switzernet

There are 60 operators and subscriptions on comparis.ch. A graphical comparison of 60 operators is not possible within a rectangular advertisement space of 300x250 pixels². We sort the operators in descending order. Then we divide them in 15 interleaved groups. Each group forms a chart which can fit in the limited space of 300x250 pixels. The set of these charts then merged into a GIF animation sequence:

The following version of the 300x250 banner is created by copy-pasting the charts from the Excel application directly to paint application. There are 15 groups each containing 5 histograms.
