How would I convert the selected value of a dropdown to a numerical value?

I am very new to PowerApps. Let's say I have a drop-down with 3 different options:

1. Low Level

2. Medium Level

3. High Level

And the user chooses option 1: Low Level

Saving the value of this dropdown using Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value gets me the text "Low Level". How would I go about converting this to a number based on the ranking in the drop-down (i.e. Low Level returns 1, Medium Level returns 2, High Level returns 3) so that I can do math with that variable value?
