Need macro to copy these specific cells to new file.
Every file in the folder has same sheets.

Sheet name: "16 Man Bracket"
Cells that need to be copied from "16 Man Bracket" are: AX20 thru AX25

Sheet name: "32 Man Bracket"
Cells that need to be copied from "32 Man Bracket" are: BJ26 thru BJ31

Copy to new file.
Sheet Name: "Summary"

Thanks in advance for any help!

Are there formulas in the ranges you want to copy?

Try:

Code: 
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim shtName As String
    Dim fileSelect As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    Dim j As Long
    Dim wbkToCopy As Workbook
    
    'Makes code run faster
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    Workbooks.Add
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Summary" & ".xls"
    ActiveSheet.Name = "Summary"
    Range("A1").Value = "Header"
    
    'Prompts user to select source files
    fileSelect = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xlsm), *.xlsm", Title:="Select files", MultiSelect:=True)
    
    If IsArray(fileSelect) Then
        'Loops through source files
        For i = LBound(fileSelect) To UBound(fileSelect)
            'Opens source file
            Set wbkToCopy = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=fileSelect(i))
                

                    'Finds last row of variable sheet
                    LR = Workbooks("Summary.xls").Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
                    
                        'Sets range according to variable sheet
                        Set rng = Sheets("16 Man Bracket").Range("AX20:AX25")
                        
                        'Copies range from source file to Summary workbook
                        rng.Copy
                        Workbooks("Summary.xls").Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & LR + 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

                    'Finds last row of variable sheet
                    LR = Workbooks("Summary.xls").Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
                    
                        'Sets range according to variable sheet
                        Set rng = Sheets("32 Man Bracket").Range("BJ26:BJ31")
                        
                        'Copies range from source file to Summary sheet
                        rng.Copy
                        Workbooks("Summary.xls").Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & LR + 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

            'Closes and does NOT save source file
            wbkToCopy.Close savechanges:=False
        Next i
    End If
    
    MsgBox "Task Complete"
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    
End Sub
Click to expand...

That worked but i would like to have the data horizontal per file

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Try:
Code: 
Sub CopyRange()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wkbDest As Workbook
    Dim wkbSource As Workbook
    Set wkbDest = ThisWorkbook
    Dim x As Long
    x = 1
    Const strPath As String = "C:\Users\Brent.WSN\Downloads\Dukes Tournament of Champions\Weekly\"
    ChDir strPath
    strExtension = Dir("*.xlsm")
    Do While strExtension <> ""
        Set wkbSource = Workbooks.Open(strPath & strExtension)
        With wkbSource
            .Sheets("16 Man Bracket").Range("AX20:AX25").Copy
            wkbDest.Sheets("Summary").Cells(x, 1).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
            x = x + 1
            .Sheets("32 Man Bracket").Range("BJ26:BJ31").Copy
            wkbDest.Sheets("Summary").Cells(x, 1).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
            x = x + 1
            .Close savechanges:=False
        End With
        strExtension = Dir
    Loop
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This macro will import the data from all your source files without having to select each one separately. Place the macro in a regular module in your destination workbook and save it as a macro-enabled file.

Worked great!!! One last thing can it put the data in the active worksheet instead of a new file.

Yes, it is now updated. Just put the macro in the module of your active workbook and keep it open before you run. It will look at the active workbook and paste the data in whatever workbook is open at the time you hit run.

Code: 
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim shtName As String
    Dim fileSelect As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    Dim j As Long
    Dim wbkToCopy As Workbook
    
    'Makes code run faster
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    Set wkbDest = ThisWorkbook
    
    'Prompts user to select 5 source files
    fileSelect = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xlsm), *.xlsm", Title:="Select files", MultiSelect:=True)
    
    If IsArray(fileSelect) Then
        'Loops through 5 source files
        For i = LBound(fileSelect) To UBound(fileSelect)
            'Opens source file
            Set wbkToCopy = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=fileSelect(i))
                

                    'Finds last row of variable sheet
                    LR = wkbDest.Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
                    
                        'Sets range according to variable sheet
                        Set rng = Sheets("16 Man Bracket").Range("AX20:AX25")
                        
                        'Copies range from source file to Summary workbook
                        rng.Copy
                        wkbDest.Sheets("Summary").Range("A" & LR + 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, Transpose:=True

                        'Sets range according to variable sheet
                        Set rng = Sheets("32 Man Bracket").Range("BJ26:BJ31")
                        
                        'Copies range from source file to Summary sheet
                        rng.Copy
                       wkbDest.Sheets("Summary").Range("G" & LR + 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, Transpose:=True


            'Closes and does NOT save source file
            wbkToCopy.Close savechanges:=False
        Next i
    End If
    
    MsgBox "Task Complete"
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
