Lookup function to only pull 5 top records out of a large list

Using Excel Office 365. Trying to create a lookup function that would pull only the top 5 records per location out of a large list even though more than 5 records exist. If only 3 records exist it would leave 2 fields empty.

Screenshot. Type store # in yellow box and it would auto fill the green boxes. User generated image
I've also attached the excel file.

Instead of a lookup, why not make it dynamic: Turn on Filter and filter the column by top 5. Let me know if you need more details on how to do this

I do no think that will work for what I am doing. I have another spreadsheet with each Store having it own tab with a bunch of data being pulled from multiple excel files to populate it. I am trying to figure out a way to be able to report the top 5 sales people by location from a large list that will update weekly.

Works perfectly. Array Formulas are new to me. Now I am reading everything I can about them. Thank you for the knowledge.
You're welcome Cole! Glad it worked as desired.
