Capture Multiple Cell change

I have code that watches three different columns for changes.

It works great when only one cell changes at a time.

But if I copy and paste multiple cells of data in to the columns at a single time, it doesn't work.

I am pretty sure that I know why, but I can't figure out how to change it to watch for multiple cell changes and only take effect for the rows where the cells changed.

Here is my code:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet


Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)


[B]If Target.Cells.Count > 1[/B] Then Exit Sub


    If [B]Target.Count = 1[/B] And Target.Column = 5 Then
        If IsEmpty(Target.Value) Then
            Target.Offset(0, 2).ClearContents
        Else
            If IsDate(Target.Value) And IsEmpty(Target.Offset(0, 1).Value) Then
                Target.Offset(0, 2).ClearContents
            Else
                If IsDate(Target.Value) And IsDate(Target.Offset(0, 1).Value) Then
                    Target.Offset(0, 2) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Days(Target.Offset(0, 1).Value, Target.Value) + 1
                End If
            End If
        End If


ElseIf [B]Target.Count = 1[/B] And Target.Column = 6 Then


    If IsEmpty(Target.Value) Then
        Target.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
    Else
        If IsDate(Target.Value) And IsEmpty(Target.Offset(0, -1).Value) Then
            Target.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
        Else
            If IsDate(Target.Value) And IsDate(Target.Offset(0, -1).Value) Then
                Target.Offset(0, 1) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Days(Target.Value, Target.Offset(0, -1).Value) + 1
            End If
        End If
    End If


ElseIf [B]Target.Count = 1[/B] And Target.Column = 8 Then


    If UCase(Target.Value) = "PASS" Or UCase(Target.Value) = "FAIL" Then
        Target.Offset(0, 1) = Date
    Else
        Target.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
    End If
End If


End Sub

I have made bold where I think the issue is stemming from, but again, I don't know exactly how to go about changing it to capture any and all changes to those specific columns, regardless if it is a single cell or multiple cells.

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try something like this (not tested)...
Code:

Thanks for the code. I will give it a try and report back.

Out of curiosity, how does the case work into this? Meaning, Case, 5, Case 6, Case 8. I am guessing that they are related to the column number of E, F, & H.

Is the cell.column identifying the number for the case?

I learn something every day!!

So I tried it, and it worked flawlessly!!! Thank you so much for helping, and I noticed that it appears you also cleaned up my code. I appreciate that, thank you.
