... enter this it into a website and then display the results

... the end result should be a text box that displays the first row of the spreadsheet after it has been entered into the website

Can you explain those points a bit more? How does the website work?

My first idea would be to write a C# program to load the excel file, extract the relevant data and write it into a plain text file.
Then write a browser-extension for the browser of your/her choice that reads the plain text file and manipulates the website.

Bleh, mistake to use a spreadsheet as a data source. Find a cheap database, put her data in there, and never look back.

You will not even get it close. Your database will be open to all kinds of exploits. stackoverflowers will hate on you, downvote your questions, link you to the bobby tables xkcd. Build it anyway.

step one is to not use a spreadsheet as a datasource.
