First, you have a syntax in the FinancialData expression: there's a missing close-quotes. Fix that.
Next, do you want to export the data itself, or just the plot you created? If the former, then:
data = FinancialData["MS", "Jan. 1, 2007"]
Export["data.xls", data]
If the latter, then use the "Images" option:
MS=DateListPlot[FinancialData["MS", "Jan. 1, 2007"]]
Export["images.xls", {}, "Images" -> MS]
Instead of the second argument {}, you could include data. In any case, the exported graphic will be in a second sheet of the Excel spreadsheet. That second argument, for reasons I don't understand, seems to be necessary.
