Visual Chart from missing inputs in the table

Hi,

 

I have a scenario that seems simple but has been challenging for me.

I manage multiple systems/servers that send log data to a SQL database to indicate they are ON. I import this data into Power BI to track their status over time—by date, month, etc.

To represent this setup, I created two tables:

  1. A Date table containing all dates of the year.
  2. A Logs table storing system/server logs.

These tables are linked by date.

I can analyze the data to show when the systems are ON by counting the "ON" status from the STATUS column. However, the issue is that no data is logged when a system is OFF (e.g., on Jan 2, 2025, System #2 is OFF, so no entry is recorded):

I'm not sure how to do it, but I need to identify when a system was OFF—essentially, when the count of "ON" entries is missing or differs from expectations. This is what I need:

How can I do that!?

To report on things that are not there you need to use disconnected tables and/or crossjoins

 

Could you please share how to do that?
