I'm trying to merge several sheets into one.
Configuration
DataSheet1 : First sheet
DataSheet2 : Second sheet
ConsolidatedSheet : Consolidated sheet
Code
Set consolidatedSheet = Worksheets("ConsolidatedSheet")
consolidatedSheet.Activate
startRow = 2
startCol = 1
Worksheets("DataSheet1").Activate
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, startCol).End(xlUp).row
lastCol = Cells(startRow, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Range(Cells(startRow, startCol), Cells(lastRow, lastCol)).Copy _
consolidatedSheet.Range("A" & consolidatedSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row + 1)
Worksheets("DataSheet2").Activate
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, startCol).End(xlUp).row
lastCol = Cells(startRow, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Range(Cells(startRow, startCol), Cells(lastRow, lastCol)).Copy _
consolidatedSheet.Range("A" & consolidatedSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row + 1)
Issue
Two arrays are created in the consolidated sheet. It means I can't sort on the consolidated sheet.
How do I copy data as values instead of arrays?

Sub consSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
With Worksheets("ConsolidatedSheet")
.Cells.Delete ' clear the assignment sheet first
For Each ws In Sheets(Array("DataSheet1", "DataSheet2"))
ws.Cells(2, 1).CurrentArray.Copy
.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next ws
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False ' "clears" the clipboard
End Sub
Edit2: (not copy headers from DataSheet1 and DataSheet2 and keep existing header in ConsolidatedSheet)
Sub consSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
With Worksheets("ConsolidatedSheet")
.Rows("2:" & .UsedRange.Row + .UsedRange.Rows.Count).Delete ' clear (without header in Row 1) the assignment sheet first
For Each ws In Sheets(Array("DataSheet1", "DataSheet2"))
Set Rng = ws.Cells(2, 1).CurrentRegion
Set Rng = Intersect(Rng, Rng.Offset(1)) ' eliminate headers
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Rng.Copy
.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End If
Next ws
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False ' "clears" the clipboard
End Sub

I'm not sure what you mean by it creating arrays, and I don't think that code is actually the code using as it's not doing what you describe.
But here's something that does what your intending.
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim cSht As Worksheet
Set cSht = Worksheets("ConsolidatedSheet")
Dim StartRow As Integer, StartCol As Integer
StartRow = 1
StartCol = 1
'Split out to a sub and don't need to repeat self
Call ConsolidateData(cSht, "DataSheet1", StartRow, StartCol, True)
Call ConsolidateData(cSht, "DataSheet2", StartRow, StartCol)
End Sub
Private Sub ConsolidateData(cSht As Worksheet, FromSheet As String, StartRow As Integer, StartCol As Integer, Optional IncludeHeader As Boolean)
Dim FromRow As Integer
If IncludeHeader Then
FromRow = StartRow
Else
FromRow = StartRow + 1
End If
With Worksheets(FromSheet)
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, StartCol).End(xlUp).Row
lastcol = .Cells(StartRow, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Just transfering value is faster then copy, but doesn't bring formatting
cSht.Cells(cSht.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(lastrow - FromRow, lastcol - StartCol).Value2 = .Range(.Cells(FromRow, StartCol), .Cells(lastrow, lastcol)).Value2
End With
End Sub
