I have a function like this and it returns the ENUM data.

            if (shouldShowCTA) {
                if (progress) {
                    when (type) {
                        TYPE1 -> TYPE1_PROGRESS
                        TYPE2 -> TYPE2_PROGRESS
                        else -> null
                    }
                } else if (completed) {
                    when (type) {
                        TYPE1 -> TYPE1_COMPLETED
                        TYPE2 -> TYPE2_COMPLETED
                        else -> null
                    }
                } else {
                    null
                }
            } else {
                null
            }

Here I have a repeated code of When condition. How can I combine all the if and else if at one condition?

You could simplify it like this:

if (shouldShowCTA) {
   when {
      type == TYPE1 && progress -> TYPE1_PROGRESS
      type == TYPE2 && progress -> TYPE2_PROGRESS
      type == TYPE1 && completed -> TYPE1_COMPLETED
      type == TYPE2 && completed -> TYPE2_COMPLETED
      else -> null
   }
} else {
    null
}

Just a note that this way you lose when's exhaustiveness, since it's not when(value) { syntax but when {

if(!shouldShowCTA)
   return null

if(progress)
    return when (type) {
        Type1 -> {}
        Type2 -> {}
        else -> null
   }

if(completed)
   return when (type) {
        Type1 -> {}
        Type2 -> {}
        else -> null
   }

return null
