I'm having the same problem from this previous question.

I keep getting some nulls after running expression. Not sure why it works on some dates

I have dates(strings) in the form 1/4/2005, 11/11/2004, etc

Here is code I used in field calculator:

btw data will be uploaded to django app using PostGeSQL

from qgis.core import *
from qgis.gui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import QDate

@qgsfunction(args="auto", group='Python')
def parse_date_dmy(fromval, feature, parent):
    return QDate.fromString(fromval, 'dd/MM/yyyy')

  • fast guess is, that there is a difference between 1/4/2005 and 01/04/2005
