ggplot ggnewscale library missing

Hi, 

 

I need to make ggplot chart which uses 2 separate fill scales. To do this I new_scale_fill() from ggnewscale packages. It works well in my PowerBi desktop. Unfortunately, online version of PowerBI does not support this package. Since this package contains only few functions which is placed here I copied and pasted it into my R script inside PBI, but it didn't solved problem - PBI online keep returning error: "Don't know how to add new_scale_fill() to a plot". Desktop verion works in this solution. 

I scoped that problem using content of functions and found out that: ggplot2::standardise_aes_names("fill") which can be called instead of new_scale_fill is propably not in PBI: 

Error: 'standardise_aes_names' is not an exported object from 'namespace:ggplot2'.

Interesting while this is just ggplot2 function.

I need to make something like this:

Please, help me solve this problem. 

 

PS. There is no option here to upload image - SERIOUSLY?
