import access dates into xl calendar

Hello, hopefully you can help me out with a concept I'm struggling with,

I've got a Tasks table in Access with 3 fields: task names, start dates, and
due dates. I'd like to export this data into Excel so that the excel columns
are days of the month (1-31 columns). The rows would contain the Tasks data,
such that a task whose start date falls on the 5th of the month and whose due
date falls on the 31st of the month would fill a unique color to cells 5-31.
Essentially, this would be like a task calendar.

Is this at all possible? any help much appreciated, thanks
Dave
