Assuming that you have a folder containing PSD files created from the data sets, you can try the following script to stack each PSD as an artboard, retaining the original layers from each separate PSD. This script is only intended for later CC versions and has been successfully tested in v2021 and v2024.
/*
Stack Layered Files to Artboards.jsx
v1.0 - 8th May 2024, Stephen Marsh
v1.1 - 9th May 2024, Added code to set the artboard background colour
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/how-to-export-to-artboards-using-the-photoshop-variables/td-p/14603249
Based on:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/combining-mulitple-photoshop-files-into-1-photoshop-file-with-artboards/td-p/12218200
NOTE: Works with layered files
