In a view you use the Limit and Sort Entries features. To get the last entry. set Limit to 1 and sort by creation date, descending.

I want to get the last fifth entry, Not the last entry in particular. -5 index, i can say. Last 5th entry which is created by current user

Then I suggest creating a custom shortcode and do the work in a PHP program using either the Formidable functions such as FrmEntry::getAll or direct SQL commands following the database schema - https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/database-schema/ Either way, it's just a few lines of code.
