Actually, wrong.

$abbr (respectively $euros) in this case is equivalent to $2
(respectively $3). So your formula becomes

  $3='(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(rates,$2)) '(remote(rates,$3)))

However, $2, or $3, are not valid range references so you do not get
vector of values.  However, the following should work as expected

  '(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(rates,@2$abbr..@>$abbr)) '(remote(rates,@2$euros..@>$euros)))

Regards,
