    The reason you are getting 1.78 is because it is calculating (168 - 0 +72) from right to left  0 + 72 = 72 then it subtracts 72 from your 168 and you get 96 divided by 54.  You can put additional parenthesis to enclose even further the data between 168-0 so it does this calculation before it adds 72 or see below and use calculate or variables.

    Example 1

    MOI=

    ((CALCULATE(SUM(YourTable[On Hand])) - CALCULATE(SUM(YourTable[Customer Order])) + CALCULATE(SUM(YourTable[Purchase Order]))) / CALCULATE(SUM(YourTable[Monthly Usage]))

    Example 2, you can replace VALUES by sum or calculate sum.  I just used the one example you provide so used values.

    MOI =
    VAR ONH = VALUES(YourTable[On Hand])
    VAR CSO = VALUES(YourTable[Customer Order])
    VAR PO = VALUES(YourTable[Purchase Order])
    VAR MUS = VALUES(YourTable[Monthly Usage])
    RETURN
    (ONH-CSO+PO)/MUS
