You need to do error checking, and I am assuming your file is as per one of your previous posts whether the first column is read in as integer numbers (which can be interpreted as dates):

requireDateNumber = %whatever your user enters

data = xlsread('myfile.xls');
rowIndex = (data(:,1) == requiredDateNumber);

if any(rowIndex)
rowData = data(rowIndex,2:end);
else
error('There is no corresponding row.');
end
