Chart of unique user logins per day

I feel like an idiot because this should be simple. I'm trying to get a basic graph showing unique user logins per day for our Splunk Cloud environment. This search came from the "Utilization Monitor for Splunk" app and I thought it would be as easy as adding "by day" to the stats segment but that didn't work.

index=_audit user!="splunk-system-user" user!="N/A" user=* host=* NOT (action=log* info=fail*) | stats dc(user) as "Splunkers"

If I were the only user to log in and I only work mon-fri then I would expect the chart to be something like 0,1,1,1,1,1,0.

Can someone please point out what I'm missing before I lose the little hair I have left?

Thank you! The strftime is the key for getting the data I needed.

Hi,

Try this

index=_audit user!="splunk-system-user" user!="N/A" user=* host=* NOT (action=log* info=fail*) | chart dc(user) as "Splunkers" by user , date_wday

Thanks
Anantha

That broke it down more granularly than I was looking for. I updated the question with an example chart.
