Try like this:
= CALCULATE(
SUM( 'Table'[kGS] ),
ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Type] ),
'Table'[Month] = EARLIER( 'Table'[Month] ) - 1
)

Can someone explain how the post marked as a solution works? My understanding of EARLIER is it has nothing to do with dates, but with contexts within a measure.
When I tried the measure marked as a solution, I get the following error, which is similar to what I expected.Calculation error in measure 'SalesData'[measure 1]: EARLIER/EARLIEST refers to an earlier row context which doesn't exist.

you're probably using it in a measure which has no row context instead of a calculated column as the OP requested:

You'll need a date table to do this properly. Then the following measure will give you the previous month sales. The filter context of the table/matrix will keep it to just items of the same Type.
=CALCULATE( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSMONTH('Calendar'[Date]) )
