Other ways to address cells in Google Sheets?

I have built an automation that contains an array of different images. I want to write the URL of the pictures in a Google Sheet in fields one after the other.
The number of images can vary between 0 and 12 images. How can I count up the columns? How to determine the correct row is not a problem, but how do I solve the problem of storing image 1 in column B, image 2 in column C, image 3 in column D, etc.? In Excel there is the possibility to work with R1C1 addressing. Can I also solve something like this with Pabbly and Excel?

You can convert the array to comma separated values using Data Transformer -> Line Itemizer. Then use pass comma separated values in column 1 and in 2nd column pass SPLIT formula using Update Row or Update Cell value actions.

I think I have understood your concept. Very smart idea. I transfer the entire list into a cell in Google Sheets and then simply split the list using formulas in Google Sheets. Very good approach, especially since it saves on automation steps.
