I am using QDateEdit & QComboBox in QTableWidget in few columns and trying to read it from QComboBox using

cmb_tlnm = self.leaves_app_table.cellWidget(i,8)
a = self.cmb_tlnm.currentText()

its working fine but if i try to use same process for QDateEdit

date_applfrm = self.leaves_app_table.cellWidget(i,0)
b = self.date_applfrm.date()

i am getting error -
b = self.date_applfrm.date()
AttributeError: date_aaplfrm

can someone tell me how can i read values from this QDateEdit which i have used in QTableWidget

THANX IN ADVANCE
