Thank you for this! I was able to use the spreadsheet but it still doesn’t show anything when its the person birthday.

I used the [birthday.glideapp.io](http://birthday.glideapp.io/) and it was great and it shows all the birthdays when I select Birthday on when.

Can anyone help? I would love it to show when its the person birthday and how old they are like the demo app that was posted showed.

Your When setting needs to point to a date. Not a true/false value. You can then set a filter under the features tab to filter birthdays when date is Within Today.

I did something similar to this solution. Using a simple formula “=MONTH($G$1)=MONTH(F3)”

Where $G$1 is todays date (you could always add the =today() instead but i had thousands of cells referencing this so it was less time consuming.) and the F3 was the birthday. This formula returned a TRUE or FALSE value and my birthday list just filters for TRUE.
