Lame Report Requirements

I have to either frequently spend hours preparing an archaic report by hand
in excel for change resistant paper people or figure out how to display the
data I have in an ms access table like they want it.

Just employee start and end time pairs are in the table.

I need to convert that into strings and organize it to show who was on duty
for each 1/2 hour of the day. They are really stuck on their format- so I'm
hoping to learn how to do this if it is even possible. If it is not possible-
how should I accomplish it to represent the data visually as that is what it
really seems to me that they are asking for?

Of course there are more than 2- 24 to be exact, with up to 7 on duty during
any 1/2 hour period around the clock. And the data would be for a 1 month
period...
