There is a cell that when I select it the formula inside appears a
follows:
{=Sheet1!$B$14:$G$14}

when I go to edit the formula it then looks like this:
=Sheet1!$B$14:$G$14

if I try to delete the formula or change it I get the following error:
You cannot change part of an array.

My question is, how has this type of array/formula been created (i.e
how can I duplicate this formula using different ranges)?

Control/ Shift/ Enter
 
{=Sheet1!$B$14:$G$14}
is a multi-cell array formula.
Correctly array-entered (with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER),
the formula should be within a horizontal 6 cell range

If you press Ctrl + / (backslash key) while selecting 1 cell within the
array,
then the 6 cell range with the array formula would be highlighted (you can
then delete the formula)
