Is there a way to extract data from a log entry based off of a date range search?

I can help with a formula, but I'd have to see how the data comes out when you log the edits.

Can you share some screen shots of this status field that has some logged edits?
Also, when you 'save as a spreadsheet' what format does the csv file have for that same field of logged edits?

Side Note: I usually use buttons to change statuses and the button also time stamps when it was pushed/changed so we can have easy reporting options.
Let me know if you want to go that route, as it may make your user experience much cleaner.
