A datum is a point, line, or surface from which dimensions are taken. It is the place to start. This is important to note when marking out a job. The datum can be a single point eg the centre of a hole or face of a feature to a component.
A datum is used to reduce errors when marking out, and measuring by reducing the accumulation of errors.
Can you find the datums on this drawing?

If so, I would be extremely appreciative to get ahold of your Excel workbook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN0EScURIOY&list=LL8ekCXKJA1d6tmDTc0iYKcA&index=4&t=0s
Wish you all the best!
