Easiest is to apply autofilter on the dates col in the source table & filter
out by the desired date.

If you wish to extract it directly in another sheet, try this simple
formulas play:
Asume source table as posted in Sheet1, cols A and B, data from row2 down
In another sheet,
Assume the date of interest will be input in A2
In B2: =IF(A$2="","",IF(Sheet1!B2=A$2,ROW(),""))
In C2:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT(B:B),"",INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,SMAL L(B:B,ROWS($1:1))))
Copy B2:C2 down to cover the max expected extent of source data.
Hide/minimize col B. Col C will return the required items.
