Hi Max,
I'd suggest you read the help docs available from within Mathematica
instead of Googling. FinancialData has an extensive page there.
Something along the following lines should work for you:
Export["C:\\Financialdata.xls", {#,
FinancialData[#, "PERatio"]} & /@ {"MSFT", "GE", "XOM", "XRX",
"UPS"}].
This is a compund statement which does all the work at once. /@ is the
shorthand for the infix form of the function Apply, which applies the
FinancialData function (using a "pure function" construction, # &, --
look it up in the help docs) on a whole list of financial ticker
symbols. Export does the rest.
Cheers -- Sjoerd
