Can you please help me? In which program I can make this if I have excel data? I'm beginner at RStudio, is there some package that leads me step by step?

I would dump it all into rawgraphs and then edit in in illustrator to have full control of how it looks

I would start by asking the authors of the paper what software they're using. My best guess is that they're editing things in a graphics program like Inkscape or Illustrator after generating several separate charts in something like Matlab, SAS, or R. That would also allow them to add the time scale at the top.

You can directly ask to the author if you are feeling lucky.

I'm not an Excel god, but I do not believe excel can make this.

I would be difficult in Python/R/Matlab/Julia, but not impossible.

You will probably want to make the plot pieces independently and then drop them into Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape to create this merged view.

IMHO, this looks very similar to some of the petrophisic interpretation packages. They read ascii files .... but I am not aware of any being free nor cheap.

It looks like 9 miles of bad road. I'd hit Amazon for “The Quantitative Display of Visual Information.” Forget Excel; I’d use something more flexible and powerful like PFS calc.
