Conditional formating with ranks

hi i need some help with this:
i would like to apply a conditional format in my bars , like a top 5 with another colour.

But consider that i applied parameter fields for each axis so i want that no matter what the user select always the top five columns come with a different colour

bellow the details

i have 2 parameter fields.
Parameter 1 = i have values, specifically i have total spend and the count of purchase orders, i use it in the X-axis
parameter 2 = i have categories or data that i use in the Y-axis, like supplier, buyer or area ( they are diferent topics that came from the same table but not hierarqy)

i created for each combination a ranking, probably it would be usefull 
here an example i have de NRO_SOLICITANTE

one column for the count of OC-LINES then the ranking considering that measure

one column for the count of gasto total(total spend) then the ranking considering that measure

okey. But the problem is that in the first visual i have a parameter for each axis.
So i can't define de rank to only one measure i would like a measure that depending on what i select take one of my ranking that i made for each combination and do a conditional formating with colours

@JUANROVALETTI , Create a rank like

 

Rank= Rankx(allselected(Table[NRO_NECESIDA]), [OC-LINES])

 

Then create a measure like

Switch(True(),

[Rank]<5= "Green", "Blue")

 

and use in conditional formatting using field value option

 

you can also consider new rownumber
