@# is the current row number, so @@#$2 is a reference to the current row,
second column. 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".
