I'm guessing this would need scripting.  These guys will help you out

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by apply the data to different templates. This would require a script and most likely can be done but we would need a bit more info and maybe an example of how you're applying the data and to where.

Just setup the new template (base image) the same way you setup the original.

I have no idea about scripting "Data-driven Graphics ".

 

Looking at your screenshot, you have four separate PSD templates, but only 1 data source which contains 4 rows.

 

So one way of looking at this would be to dupe the spreadsheet 3 times and remove each other row, then assign the appropriate data set to each template.

Create new PSD template and define variables from the first column sorry, I meant raw, that will link content with layers in your template.

 

It works like this, here sample data set:

 

Variable 5

"Text to replace content on type layer"

 

Any PSD that contains type layer with defined variable named Variable 5 can use data set to replace existing text with "Text to replace content on type layer"

 

Apply to A.psd, apply to B.psd is not clear, you can use single template with multiple data sets what will create multiple PSD files with same layout, for example, but with different content. You need only one PSD template and data sets. Are you sure you fully understand how data drive graphics work?
