How to get stats count to include zero count by time?

Hi,
I have a lookup file like this -

users:
User1
User2
User3
User4
...


I need to count the events by user:

index=myindex 
| stats count as count by user
| inputlookup append=true userlist.csv
| fillnull count
| stats sum(count) as count by user
| table user count

It shows me the number of events per user in the CSV file.
If a user has no events, the count is 0:

usercount
User12593
User2301
User30
User41284

 

But I need the output additionally splitted over time (span=1h).
The output should look like this:

timeusercount
11.08.2020 11:00:00.000 User11023
11.08.2020 11:00:00.000User2190
11.08.2020 11:00:00.000User30
11.08.2020 11:00:00.000User41284
11.08.2020 12:00:00.000User11570
11.08.2020 12:00:00.000User2111
11.08.2020 12:00:00.000User30
11.08.2020 12:00:00.000User40
time + 1h......

 

I saw few other questions in splunk answers but they didnt work for me...
I hope you could help me. Thank a lot!

Perhaps this will help.

index=myindex 
| stats count as count by user
| inputlookup append=true userlist.csv
| fillnull count
| timechart span=1h sum(count) as count by user
| table user count

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately it does not work, if I use the timechart command like this, I do not get any results back.
