First, I restructure the data table to facilitate lookups, but if that's the
structure you're stuck with then this may work for you:

Assumption: You want to view error information for a single date on a
separate worksheet.

With your example data on Sheet1, beginning in Cell A1

Using Sheet2:
B1: Date
B2: 01/02/2006
C1: Region
D1: Total Errors

A2: =MATCH(B2,Sheet1!A1:A1000,0)

C2: Region 1
C3: Region 2
etc

D2: =VLOOKUP(C2,INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$1000,Sheet2!$A$2,1):Sheet1!$C$1000,2,0)

Copy that formula down as far as you have regions listed.

Change the date in Cell B2 to another date and the formulas in Col_D will
return the relevent data for that date.

(Adjust range references to suit your situation)

Is that something you can work with?
