estimated value of time spent in meetings-calculate

Hi all,

I am working with the new query templates of Viva Insights, in particular with Meetings effectiveness query.

I don't understand how the estimated value of time spent in meetings is being calculated. I see that the formula is as shown below:

_ValueOfTime_in_meeting =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Meeting Effectiveness'[Meeting hours] )
        * SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Value of meeting hour'[Value of meeting hour] )
)
 
The column " 'Value of meeting hour'[Value of meeting hour] " is the column of a table created in power bi: 
Value of meeting hour = GENERATESERIES(0, 1000, 1)
 
What does that series mean? What is it's function and why it goes from 0 to 1000?
 
Thank you very much in advance.
