Michael has a couple of nontrivial examples (e.g. transposing a table) using this facility on worg: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-coordinates-in-formulas-transpose-table where he is using the current row and current col to form a reference to the transposed location: @$#$@# "The row whose number is the number of the current column and the column whose number is the number of the current row".
