Hi,

     Try with this expression

=Only({<Country={"=Rank(Population)<6"}>} Population)

     Or

     If your using QV 9

       use expression as Only(Population)

      Then go to the properties-->Presentation-->under dimension limitations check the option max visible number and set as 5.This requires to be sort by y value descending.

     Or

     for 10 and 11

     use dimension limits

I don't think you need to use ranking for this.  Just sort your bar chart by population descending and limit the displayed values to 5.

Hope this helps,
