Calculation within the field reference of Org is not supported but
subscr of Calc can be used to pick calculated references from a range:

#+NAME: my-table
| Header1 | Header2 |
|---------+---------|
| a       |      23 |
| b       |       7 |
| c       |      13 |
| d       |      66 |
| e       |       5 |
|---------+---------|
| Result  |      42 |

| x | y | 23 | 7 | 13 | 66 | 5 |
#+TBLFM: @1$3..@1$7 = subscr(remote(my-table, @2$2..6$2), $# - 2)

(To show the intermediade step:
| x | y | [23, 7, 13, 66, 5] | [23, 7, 13, 66, 5] |
#+TBLFM: @1$3..@1$4 = remote(my-table, @2$2..6$2)
)
