What exactly doesn't work (I'm asking because it works perfectly here)?

Just curious, your ConvertedAmount dictates the column that is used?

Hmm, you do know, that you need to emit dataChanged from setData only if
you change an item that is not the one given to you via idx. And your
code does not do that. However I find it strange that you get a
TypeError.

Can't say for sure, can you provide a minimal compilable example? I just
tried to emit that signal in my tablemodel and didn't get any error
(also using a variable for return). 

BTW: The signal signature for dataChanged actually is
dataChanged(const QModelIndex&, const QModelIndex&)
note the const keyword for both parameters.
