How do I move data elements in excel into a website?

Scenario: I have an excel document that lists 16 data elements. These elements are put into corresponding fields in a webpage. Once all the fields are complete, the submit button is hit and you get back a confirmation number via email.

Question: Is there a way to code a program that will take the excel data elements, populate the corresponding fields on the webpage and submit the data for me? Or is this even possible?

How would I go about doing this?

Appreciate any feedback

What I have tried:

I don't have much program experience, so nothing as of yet. I want to get a good direction first before I start.

I would say, yes it is possible.

I assume you are not writing about a Client side Excel... now, replace Excel with mysql/mssql/... if this would not be possible, how all the online Shops will work?

General principle, first you learn coding properly, then you do personal projects.
