HELP on a quick stock portfolio question

I was hoping to get some help on the following problem.

Using data from October 1, 2006 to October 1, 2011 at the following link http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=YUM&a=09&b=1&c=20…

I need to configure the mean monthly return and standard deviation.

Additionally, I need to do the same for XOM
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=XOM&a=09&b=1&c=20…

Now I need to configure the correlation between the two.

I would really appreciate any help I could get on this...

Do your own homework. Those questions are easy and all you need are two-three formulas. Plug and play.

I'll be nice since I already wasted my time reading the thread - export prices to excel, compute monthly returns (end of month to end of month price change), compute mean/std dev, get correlation of returns, done. These are basically all excel functions...
