Help! Top 5 and Others

Help! I will need to create a pie chart that shows the top 5 by Rank (1-5) and group all the rest (Rank 6-9) into an 'Other' category.  I'm pretty new at this - be gentle!  Thanks in advance! 

 

My table is called CoolSports 

Here's the data in my table: 

 

CATEGORYROW_COUNTRANK
WaterSki8121
SnowSki7272
Biking6993
Mountain_Bike5474
Swim3585
Hiking2106
Telemark1757
Walk508
Jog239

You can do this with the Charticulator visual.  See example below.  The key is to make a measure like the one below along with the Category and Row Count columns in your visual, and then Group By the new measure and make it a radial scaffold.

    TOPN (
        5,

        CALCULATE ( SUM ( CategoryRank[ROW_COUNT] ) )DESC
    )
VAR thiscategory =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CategoryRank[CATEGORY] )
VAR result =
    IF ( thiscategory IN top5thiscategory"Others" )
RETURN
    result

I tried the suggested solution, it didn't work - back to square one.
