To combine information that falls across a selection of cells into one cell in Excel, you should use the following actions:

  1. Merge & Center button - This will merge the selected cells and center the content.

  2. Merge cells button - This will merge the selected cells without centering the content.

  3. Merge across button - This will merge cells in each row across the selection, but not the entire selection itself if it's more than one row.

The Align text center button does not merge cells; it only centers the text within the currently selected cell(s).

So, the correct selections are:

  • Merge & center button
  • Merge cells button
  • Merge across button
