What do the @ symbols do in excel formulas? The names are table column headers

Code:
=[@Rate]*([@MinHours]+[@AddHour])

What would happen if the @ symbols were not included?
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
The @ symbols mean the formula refers to the current row of each of the columns Rate, MinHours and AddHour.
