Try reversing the order, or extending the to-replace bit.
"M_1" is finding and replacing "M_10", "M_11", etc.
"M_2" is finding and replacing "M_20", "M_21", etc.
So M_14 becomes "01-03-20174"

See below:
BHC <-BHC %>% mutate ( Date = stringr :: str_replace ( Date , "M_1" ,
"01-03-2017"))
BHC <-BHC %>% mutate ( Date =
