var syntax

I am reading the DAX written by another colleague, i'm wondering what does "--" mean here. It seems to me hte last line of code (green highlights) are not executed. Maybe it's just notes of the developer?

 

Recorded Time M2 =

VAR cy = filter(Dim_Date,max(Dim_Date[Year])=Dim_Date[Year])

var result =

sum('Fact_Timesheets'[Recorded Time])

return

if(result = 0,blank(),result)

--CALCULATE(sum('Fact_Timesheet'[Recorded Time]),'Fact_Timesheet'[Time Category]<>"Valuation Result",cy)
