Try something like this to produce the desired output:

  base search
| eval Date = strptime(Date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| bin span=1d Date
| stats dc(User) by Date
|eval Date = strftime(Date, "%d/%m/%Y")
| chart dc(User) by count Date
| makecontinuous count
| fillnull

Thanks, it helped me but I think I found the solution :

| eval date = strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| stats count(user) as count_users by date,user | eval date = strftime(date, "%d/%m/%Y") | appendpipe [stats sum(count_users) as times by date,user] | fields - count_users | table times,date | where (times > 0)

Output :

times date
2 01/04/2016
1 01/04/2016
1 02/04/2016
1 02/04/2016
1 03/04/2016
1 03/04/2016
1 04/04/2016
2 04/04/2016

I need to rotate the table now.
