sure buddy, since you already gone through my article so I'll suggest a very similar way:
open that excel file in google sheets and click on file menu then download it as .csv
Now open that .csv file with pandas and instead of comparing months and day separately you can compare DOB with today's date

DOB may contain the birth year so you have to ignore it during comparison. You can take DOB as string and the use .split() method to separate out the month, day and year
