Not exactly.  If you use CLOSED timestamps then you can view the agenda
for the period you want and use l (ell) to show logged items.  You can
specify what to include in the view with org-agenda-log-mode-items.

To show a week's worth of logged items starting on 10-14 you can do
C-c a a - go to the agenda
w       - display week view
j 10-14 - go to Oct 14th
l       - show logged items as per org-agenda-log-mode-items

This allows you to create a custom agenda view which only shows CLOSED
tags for instance which I think gives you what you want -- or you can
look at state changes which will show the 3 entries above.

You can export the resulting agenda view to some other format.
