The Lagemeldungen West on the German Docs in Russia (TsAMO) site give each day's losses but these are only broken down by aircraft type, not unit or cause, and nothing about damage-only cases. These figures would be easy enough to enter on to a spreadsheet but might not give the information you need.

The other sources that might be useful are Bundesarchiv files RL 2-III/708a, /708b, /709a and 709b. These are free to download and between them cover 6 July–16 November 1940. They include weekly figures for loss or damage of aircraft broken down by type for each flying arm (fighter, Stuka bomber etc.).
So for example for 4–10 August there are 17 Bf 109 lost and 11 damaged, 10 Ju 87 lost and 7 damaged. There are also figures for crew dead, wounded or missing.
