Transforming Variable to Normality for Parametric Statistics

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have a numeric variable which I would like to analyze by parametric statistical procedures (t-test, ANOVA ...). However, I find that the variable does not have a normal distribution. What are some of my options for transforming this variable to normality so that I can run parametric tests upon it?
