[GIS] Using Delete columns (Batch processing) in QGIS

attribute-tablebatchqgisvector-layer

I am having problem using the Delete column (Batch processing) under Vector Table tools. I do not understand what the Field to delete column means. I have tried using any of my layer's attribute column header names (like FLAG or NOTE) but it just keeps giving the error message:

Wrong or missing parameter value:Deleted column (row1)

My attribute table for that layer has a value of NULL for the FLAG column. I plan on using batch processing as I have several similar layers. How can I get the batch processing to delete that column?

Your flag is okay. The error message says Deleted column is missing.

Slightly scroll to the right-hand side. You will find ellipsis [...] button.

Click on this three-dots button and give a Shapefile name for the new layer. It will be created without the column you have set to Field to delete.

[GIS] Adding date field to attribute table using QGIS processing modeler

In your QGIS modeler, add the Field Calculator algorithm as shown in the image below. I notice in your image that you have "Date" as a parameter name and you also want to use "Date" as a field name. Change the parameter name to another such as "Enter date", don't make it the same name.

In the Field Calculator settings, add "Date" in the Result field name option and you can type or select "Enter Date" from the dropdown menu in the Formula option:

If you use Date as the Field type (as in the image), the format you enter must be 'YYYY-MM-DD'(note the single quotes!). If you want to use another format then use String as the Field type (remember to increase the Field length), you can then enter anything you like in whatever format you like.

QGIS Print Composer – Use Attribute Table Field Name as Output Filename

"name" in the output filename expression ... maybe ? Note that avoiding spaces in file names is still a good idea.

(With single file export unchecked of course)

You can try the following :

regexp_replace("name",'[\\s\'-]','_')

To replace spaces, hyphens or quotes in your name field
