R highcharts multiple stacked bar chart

Question

I want to plot a multiple stacked bar chart, but I don't know how to combine the r code.

  Closing Date Non Current Assets Current Assets Non Current Liabilities
2      2013/12           13637344       13078654                 9376243
3      2014/12           14075507       12772388                 8895126
4      2015/12           14578093       14226181                 9715914
5      2016/12           10911628       10205708                 9810157
6      2017/12           10680998       10950779                13493110
   Current Liabilities
2             5075985
3             4963856
4             5992229
5             8859263
6             4094183

I can plot multiple bar chart by:

    highchart() %>% 
    hc_chart(type = "column") %>%
    hc_xAxis(categories = bs.table$`Closing Date`) %>%
    hc_add_series(name="Non Current Assets",data = bs.table$`Non Current 
    Assets`) %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Current Assets",data = bs.table$`Current Assets`) %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Non Current Liabilities",data = bs.table$`Non Current Liabilities`) %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Current Liabilities",data = bs.table$`Current Liabilities`) %>%
  hc_add_theme(hc_theme_ft())

and only one stacked bar like this:

highchart() %>% 
  hc_chart(type = "column") %>% 
  hc_title(text = "MyGraph") %>% 
  hc_plotOptions(column = list(
    dataLabels = list(enabled = FALSE),
    stacking = "normal",
    enableMouseTracking = FALSE)
  ) %>% 
  hc_series(list(name="Current Assets",data=bs.table$`Current Assets`),
            list(name="Non Current Assets",data=bs.table$`Non Current Assets`))

my desired output is like this:

I try to combine the code by adding:

%>% hc_series(list(name="Current Liabilities",data=bs.table$`Current Liabilities`),
            list(name="Non Current Liabilities",data=bs.table$`Non Current Liabilities`))

on the second code but it doesn't work, it added up the same bar. Please advice.

You can specify which bars belong in which groups by adding stack to each series, like this:

library(highcharter)

bs.table = data.frame(
  Closing.Date = paste(2013:2017, 12, sep = "/"),
  Non.Current.Assets = c(13637344, 14075507, 14578093, 10911628, 10680998),
  Current.Assets = c(13078654, 12772388, 14226181, 10205708, 10950779),
  Non.Current.Liabilities = c(9376243, 8895126, 9715914, 9810157, 13493110),
  Current.Liabilities = c(5075985, 4963856, 5992229, 8859263, 4094183)
)

highchart() %>% 
  hc_chart(type = "column") %>%
  hc_plotOptions(column = list(stacking = "normal")) %>%
  hc_xAxis(categories = bs.table$Closing.Date) %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Non Current Assets",
                data = bs.table$Non.Current.Assets,
                stack = "Assets") %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Current Assets",
                data = bs.table$Current.Assets,
                stack = "Assets") %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Non Current Liabilities",
                data = bs.table$Non.Current.Liabilities,
                stack = "Liabilities") %>%
  hc_add_series(name="Current Liabilities",
                data = bs.table$Current.Liabilities,
                stack = "Liabilities") %>%
  hc_add_theme(hc_theme_ft())

(To group by current vs. non-current instead of assets vs. liabilities, just rename stack in each series appropriately.)
