Razor Syntax for Division of 2 values

Question

User2054207217 posted
Hello:
Having trouble performing simple division on 2 values in Razor on a view:
Trying to divide a @Model.Sum with @Model.Count:
@(@Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup)/@Model.Count())
I am getting a Attempted to divide by zero. I am able to get valid values for @Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) and @Model.Count()
Any ideas? Thanks.

It's difficult to provide a solution without sample code that reproduces the issue.
Working example
@model List<MvcBasic.Models.CustomVm> @{ ViewData["Title"] = "Index"; } <div> @((decimal)Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) / (decimal)Model.Count()) </div>
[HttpGet] public ActionResult Index() { List<CustomVm> vm = new List<CustomVm>() { new CustomVm() { MTDTotalSalesRollup = 1 }, new CustomVm() { MTDTotalSalesRollup = 3 }, new CustomVm() { MTDTotalSalesRollup = 7 }, new CustomVm() { MTDTotalSalesRollup = 9 }, new CustomVm() { MTDTotalSalesRollup = 11 } }; return View(vm); }
public class CustomVm { public int MTDTotalSalesRollup { get; set; } }

This worked:
@((decimal)Model.Count()==0 ? 0m : Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) / (decimal)Model.Count())

Thanks for your help. I still get the Attempt to divide by zero error.
Also, I tried a new model/view based on your sample, but I get: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')
@((decimal)Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) / (decimal)Model.Count())

My mistake, your sample code works fine for me. It's just when I plug in the division code that you have given, I still get the error in my original code.
DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero.
@((decimal)Model.Sum(i => i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) / (decimal)Model.Count())
Any ideas to point me in the right direction?

Model.Count can be zero, and divide by zero is an error. You need to handle this case. Probable something like
@((decimal)Model.Sum(i => Model.Count() == 0 ? 0m : i.MTDTotalSalesRollup) / (decimal) Model.Count())

Just figure it out, the Count was zero for some a certain selection, thus causing the error. I also just happened to see your reply Bruce, thanks! I will have to use mgebhard for marking as an answer.
I do have a related question, is it possible to get the Model's property using @Model.PropertyName? I currently loop thorugh the individual items in the model to display in a table. But I also have one property value that does not change for the model, and would like to display it in the footer? Thanks.
