In 2 Excel worksheets, I am trying to eliminate duplicate entries
 

I have 2 worksheets one with 3100 row entries, another with 3700 row entries.
The 3100 is duplicated in the 3700 and am trying to sort or eliminate the
duplicates only remaining with the 600 unique entires.
How do I do it?

Hopefully, 'duplicate' is based on a key value in a single cell. If so, the
MATCH function will help. In the larger table, create a helper column.
Suppose the key value is in column A, starting in row 2, and the helper
column will be B. In B2: =isna(match(a2,OtherSheet!A:A,false)). (Replace
'OtherSheet' with the name of the worksheet containing the smaller table, and
A:A with the column on that sheet containing the key values). Copy that
formula through column B. You'll have TRUE wherever there is NOT a match.
So use Data Filter Autofilter and select TRUE, delete the visible rows
and only those that are not duplicates will remain.

The following code returns unique values for:
1 - entries in range A which are not in range B (A-B)
2 - entries in range B which are not in range A (B-A)
3 - entries in range A plus entries in range B (A+B)
4 - entries which are common to range A and range B (AB)
Just arrange Definitions to suit your needs.
