C:MyDownloadLocation = directory where there is this folder called
Naruto, and inside Naruto there's Naruto.mkv



C:MyOtherLocation = default download location where I want Naruto
folder moved, with inside Naruto.mkv




This is the command I ran:



FOR /R C:MyDownloadLocation %f IN (.) DO robocopy "%f" "C:MyOtherLocation" /S


This command looks for a folder (.) in C:MyDownloadLocation (%f is the folder) and will copy it with inside Naruto.mkv in C:MyOtherLocation



The problem is that in C:MyOtherLocation there's even Naruto.mkv, when it should be only in the folder Naruto



So, after the command FOR /R C:MyDownloadLocation %f IN (.) DO robocopy "%f" "C:MyOtherLocation" /S, I'm in this state:




C:MyOtherLocationNarutoNaruto.mkv



C:MyOtherLocationNaruto.mkv (this shouldn't exist)




Why does it copy even Naruto.mkv?



And how can I fix this?






windows for-loop cmd copy

                    What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

                    Image
                    0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
