How about this calculated column

 

Calc Column =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        TOPN ( 1, VALUES ( Table1[type] ), CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table1[type] ) ), DESC ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[User] )
    ),
    [type],
    ","
)

try to add two columns:

1. Calculate count match types by user

MostPopularType = COUNTX(
    FILTER(TableName;
        EARLIER(TableName[User])=TableName[User] &&
        EARLIER(TableName[type])=TableName[type]);
    TableName[type])

2. Return most popular type

Mostcommon type(check) = 
var mmax = 
MAXX(
    FILTER(TableName;
        EARLIER(TableName[User])=TableName[User]);
    TableName[MostPopularType])
return
LOOKUPVALUE(TableName[type];TableName[User];TableName[User];TableName[MostPopularType];mmax)

i get:

@Anonymous is the criteria of getting most common type is based on count of types for each user?
