Pre-sales question for Custom Calendar

I have a pre-sales question concerning creating a custom calendar layout. Currently we use Excel spreadsheets as employee calendars to show where an employee will be on a particular day (in the office, PTO, at a client site, etc...) and quite frankly, it sucks for a number of reasons. I am thinking about getting a Silver Membership and using the Managed People/resources add-on to better manage the data side of things, but I am concerned about getting a layout that will be close enough to our current layout in excel to be both useful and visually appealing (aka not a huge mess).

Our current layout in Excel looks something like this:

         Emp1      Emp2      Emp3     Emp4    

Oct 5    PTO       Client1   Office   Client2

Oct 6    PTO       Client1   Client1  Client2

Oct 7    Office    Client1   Client1  Office

Oct 8    Office    Client1   Client1  Office

Oct 9    Office    Client1   Client1  Office

So basically I am trying to do something similar, a list of resources across the top, a list of dates down the side. Is that or something similar possible? I can rotate the table if required but would prefer not to if the above is an option. The problem with a standard calendar layout for this is that by the time you hit twenty employees (which is one of our smaller groups), each day is just a cluster that becomes nearly impossible to read.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
