Creating table of summarized org-mode result fields in column view "report"

I keep a daily log file where there are some summarize colon delimited
files each day inserted via a template (from Alfred's snippet feature).

``` org-mode
* 2020-03-11 Wed
** 07:37 Log 2020-03-12 Wed
:logs:
*** The  Day

This:         ??
That:        --
Other:      ???
Thing:      ???
Highlights:    ???
```

I would like to parse certain of the daily field entries, into by-day
colunmnar entries in desc ending order into an org column view "chart" if
it's possible so that I can easily visually parse how those things went
each day (sure, org-table might work too but this seemed cleaner and more
visually appropriate if possible.

```
| Day     |   This  |  That   | Other  | Thing |  Highlights  |
```
spaced widely across the screen. Effectively, a columnar report of the
dayes and the "fields"  (I'll worry about monthly views etc after the
basics sorted... =] ).

I imagine someone has already done something similar but googling has not
given joy (possibly my google-fu needs work) in terms of finding something
already existing other than a way to do something vaguely similar for pdf
output (whereas I am thinking of it more like a sort of agenda report as it
were.

Can anyone point me to something similar already? (and is this even
possible with column view instead of say, turning it into an org-table
within a buffer. Would appreciate advice on how to approach this if it is
something I need to write from scratch as konwledge of org-mode internals
is, at best, weak (ahem... =p ).

thanks!
Daryl.
