How do I fill nulls in time series data without using timechart?

I have time series data that I want to bucket into 15 minute chunks with corresponding counts like so....

mysearch | bucket span=15m _time | stats count by groups _time

What I need next is for every value of groups that is null for a particular time bucket to be replaced with a 0

Basically I need the functionality of a timechart but I need to keep the groups field intact instead of each value of groups being split out into it's own field

This is what I would like my output table to look like:

_time | groups | count
10:00 am | group1 | 75
10:00 am | group2 | 0
10:00 am | group3 | 16
10:15 am | group1 | 14
10:15 am | group2 | 15
10:15 am | group3 | 0
10:30 am | group1 | 0
10:30 am | group2 | 105
10:30 am | group3 | 24
10:45 am | group1 | 1
10:45 am | group2 | 0
10:45 am | group3 | 75

Try something like this

your base search | timechart span=15m count by groups limit=100 | untable _time groups count
