Beginning in version 10.5, when you create a new extract, it uses the .hyper format instead of the .tde format.
Extracts in the .hyper format take advantage of the improved data engine, which supports the same fast analytical and query performance as the data engine before it, but for even larger extracts.
Although there are many benefits of using .hyper extracts, the primary benefits include the following:
1) Create larger extracts: You can create extracts with billions of rows of data. Because .hyper extracts can support more data, you can consolidate .tde extracts that you previously had to create separately into a single .hyper extract.
2) Create and refresh extracts faster: While Tableau has always optimized performance for creating and refreshing extracts, version 2020.3 supports faster extract creation and refreshes for even larger data sets.
3) Experience better performance when interacting with views that use extract data sources: Although smaller extracts continue to perform efficiently, larger extracts perform more efficiently.

Follow along to get the correct answer:
Drag Country to the view, and then Patents to the Size Mark on the Marks shelf as follows :

2) But, this isn't all right? We need to focus on the year 2013. This can be done by using the year column as it is (continuous) in the filter shelf, or by converting it to discrete first and then using it:
2.1 As it is (continuous)

2.2 Converting to discrete first & then using it

and then :

3) We can now see that France, with 485 has the 2nd most number of patents for the year 2013

Explanation
Yes, due to the nature of blends, there are some conditions as follows from the official documentation that must be kept in mind while working with blends:


In addition to handling calculations slightly differently, there are some limitations on secondary data sources.
You may not be able to sort by a field from a secondary data source, and action filters may not work as expected with blended data. For more information, see Other data blending issues.

Explanation
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION
To answer this question, you need to understand Tableau's Order of Operations. See below and remember this always:

When you track data in Excel spreadsheets, you create them with the human interface in mind. To make your spreadsheets easy to read, you might include things like titles, stacked headers, notes, maybe empty rows and columns to add white space, and you probably have multiple tabs of data too.
When you want to analyze this data in Tableau, these aesthetically pleasing attributes make it very difficult for Tableau to interpret your data. That's where Data Interpreter can help.
