Include count = 0 in a bar chart

I have a bar chart in a report which displays every day what is the previous day's ID count for different clients.
In the axis I have clients,
in the legend, I have the date field(month to show which month the previous day count belongs), and
in values, I have a count of IDs. 

Problem: If the count of ID for one user =0 for the previous day, that user is not displayed in that chart. I would like to display the user in x-axis showing count=0
Current data table:

ClientSeptember
a3
b5
c4
d8
e9

 

What I want is the data table to show the count =0 for client f. 

ClientSeptember
a3
b5
c4
d8
e9
0


Failed Attempts:
1) For Axis, where I have different clients, I ticked "show Items with no data". Nothing changed in my graph

2) I created a new measure ID_COUNT= COUNT(TABLE[ID]) + 0, this showed me a lot of 0 on my report for other months and this is not what I want. I want the count = 0 for the client on the previous day

@Anonymous this is not going to help, it is going to be a data modelling/auto exists issue, you need to create a sample pbix file and share, just change the value, create a sample dataset but make sure the data model is the same as your original file.

Hi, I cant share the .pbix file as it has confidential data. I can share my power bi report with filters shown. I have only one dataset and no joins with another table. My data has a column user having values from user1 - user 7. since user7 has count =0, I cant see that in a bar chart above. 
I have not created any measures and using data as is. counting ID per user basis for every previous day (using relative date function). Below is the snapshot:

Can anyone help me with the data table (ultimately the bar chart) to display count =0 for a respective client?

When I convert the bar chart into a table, it doesn't show the client who has count =0. I am sure, next day if the count is a valid number >0 for the client, the report will work. It's just not working/showing  the count = 0 for any client in that axis

@Anonymous you are on right track to do +0 but ofcourse it will show a lot of zeros, follow this post to solve it.

Thanks Parry, I don't have any blanks in my ID column. When the count of ID for a client is 0, it isn't showing that client in the first place. i don't understand how to show the client and have no bar against that client since it has count =0
