Are you using CFMX? I believe this issue relates to the fact that QofQ makes assumptions based on the data in the original query. In your data below - your first row in the column custom 1 has a data. Later on, you have a non date value. Therefore, when you QofQ against it - the system gets confused. All I can suggest is perhaps using another column to signify the non-date version of the custom1 column.
