What is this Cell Notation?

See attached image.

Why is the cell notation =SUM(D50#) and not =SUM(D50:D57)?

I thought it may be shorthand for adding all the cells in a column until the current cell, or adding all the cells in a block until a empty cell, but it is not. It is not a preset length.

The cell I am referencing is an array.

D40 = ABS(E4:E11-C4:C11)

I don't use arrays very often so i had not encountered this before.
