Overflow:

The data from the cell will overflow into other cells.

Wrap:

If the text exceeds the size of the cell, it moves the text to the next line. So, the size of the row will increase automatically.

Clip:

If the text exceeds the size of the cell, it will only show limited text. The exceeded text will be hidden.
