How to sum decimal value from a column in a table in html file for C#

Question

This code intends to sum a column of decimal values but throws an exception at the int.Parse() line. Please see near the end of this post for how I tried revise the code to correct this and the error I received with that attempt.

    static void Main()
    {
        String htmlFile = "C:/Temp/Test11.html";

        HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
        doc.Load(htmlFile);

    // Site Collection Storage Used (GB)
    var sum = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//table")
        // The sum will be of the row elements
        .Elements("tr")
        // Skip this many rows from the top
        .Skip(1)
        // .ElementAt(2) = third column
        // .Last() = last column
        .Sum(tr => int.Parse(tr.Elements("td").ElementAt(3).InnerText)); 
    Console.WriteLine("Site Collection Storage Used (GB): " + sum);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

Here is the exception:

  InnerException:

I tried to replace int.Parse() with Decimal.Parse() but it tells me:

"Error  1   Cannot implicitly convert type 'decimal' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)      C:\Users\hptSetupAdmin\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\_ValueSpecifiedCellSpecifiedTable\ValueSpecifiedCellSpecifiedTable    \Program.cs  92  17  ValueSpecifiedCellSpecifiedTable

After changing int.Parse() to Decimal.Parse() I do not see where there is an int to convert.

Please help me with this code to achieve my goal.

Here is the html file for reference:

<html>
<head>
<title>Tables</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th>Environment</th>
    <th>Databases</th>
    <th>Sites</th>
    <th>Site Collection Storage Used (GB)</th>
    <th>Ref</th>
 </th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Public</td>
    <td>14</td>
    <td>28</td>
    <td>32.6602</td>
    <td>2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Local</td>
    <td>5</td>
    <td>8</td>
    <td>7.0302</td>
    <td>3</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Shared</td>
    <td>6</td>
    <td>9</td>
    <td>17.092</td>
    <td>9</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Answer 1

The conversion is almost certainly outside the LINQ statement: if sum is an int, that's where an explicit cast would be needed. Declaring sum as decimal or inserting an explicit cast would fix the problem:

    // Site Collection Storage Used (GB)
    sum = (int)doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//table")
        // The sum will be of the row elements
        .Elements("tr")
        // Skip this many rows from the top
        .Skip(1)
        // .ElementAt(2) = third column
        // .Last() = last column
        .Sum(tr => decimal.Parse(tr.Elements("td").ElementAt(3).InnerText)); 
    Console.WriteLine("Site Collection Storage Used (GB): " + sum);

Here is a link to a quick demo on ideone (it's not possible to use HTML agility pack on ideone, so I copied your data into an array of strings).
