Redefining How Analysts Learn, Work, and Grow

At Next-Level Tableau, we believe mastering Tableau is just the beginning. Our mission is to empower analysts to think critically, communicate clearly, and create dashboards that drive real impact in their work, their teams, and their careers.

Our Story

Our Story

It Started with a Dashboard

In 2006, Andy Kriebel was handed a project at Coca-Cola: build a dashboard. The problem? He didn’t know where to start.

After discovering Tableau, what should have taken weeks took 30 minutes. That moment changed everything.

Over the next 18 years, Andy led analytics teams at Coca-Cola and Facebook, published 1,400+ visualizations, and became the most followed voice in the Tableau community. But everywhere he looked, analysts were stuck drowning in scattered tutorials and never quite feeling confident.

So he built something different.

What began as a few tutorials has evolved into a place where analysts come together to master Tableau through live coaching, structured curriculum, and a community that supports each other every step of the way.

Next-Level Tableau Traditional Tableau Training
Teaches strategic thinking, not just button-clicking Step-by-step tutorials with no context
Structured learning paths that build on each other Random lessons with no clear progression
Live, interactive coaching where you learn alongside other analysts Pre-recorded videos you watch alone
Frameworks designed for real business problems Generic examples disconnected from real work
Focus on why techniques work, not just how to execute them Teaches how to click buttons, not how to think
Teaching that evolves with every Tableau release Outdated content that doesn't keep up
Community-driven learning where analysts support each other Learn in isolation with no support system

What makes Next-Level Tableau different?

The Next Level Difference

Our Core Principles

At Next-Level Tableau, we believe exceptional analysts are built through structured, strategic learning. Our community is founded on five core principles that guide everything we do:

Clarity over Complexity

We simplify Tableau's most advanced concepts into actionable steps you can apply immediately. No jargon, no gatekeeping, just clear explanations that make complex ideas click.

Real World Application

Every lesson is designed around real business problems, not theory. You'll learn techniques that solve actual analytical challenges you face at work.

Community & Collaboration

We believe learning happens best together. Our members support each other, share solutions, and build a network of analysts who understand the challenges you're facing.

Continuous Growth

Our content evolves with every Tableau release, so members stay ahead of the curve. New features, best practices, and industry trends that keep your learning current.

Impact Driven Learning

Mastering Tableau isn't just about technical skill, it's about making your work matter. We teach you how to build dashboards that drive decisions and advance your career.

    —Divyanshu Sharma

  • "I finally found the structure I was missing."

     "After using Tableau for 4 years on my own, I felt like I'd hit a wall. I can do a few things fairly well, but in many ways, I still felt like a novice. I joined NLT to gain a stronger foundation. The best part are the live classes! What other program gives you access to a Hall of Fame Tableau Visionary for 4-5 hours a week?"

    —Dennis Kao, Tableau Visionary
