    Can VBA code automatically operate a website?

    I have a website that I use to pull data from including downloading Excel workbooks with the results I need.

    The site requires a login as well entering numbers in which it returns values that I use in my Excel workbooks. Can VBA code be written to login, and enter predetermined values from a spreadsheet then download the results which I then use in my workbook?

    If not, is there any software available that can operate websites that can be used in conjunction with Excel?

    You can use a technique called "scraping" where you write to the web page's elements extracted from the web page's source code. You can google "Scraping software".
