Your best bet is to apply a conditional format in Excel where the Price/Count = Price then apply $ formatting. If Price/Count = Count then apply no formatting. Since the rows are dynamic this seems like the only way to do it if you want to be able to perform any math functions in excel later. Then in the Output tool you would check the box that says to Preserve Formatting so the conditional format remains when the new data is saved into the excel file.
