This cannot be right. I have a variant of this (using an excel spreed sheet) on a technical interview for data analysts, which is a pretty low level position (the average candidate has an associates degree and "some knowledge of excel"). 60%-70% of the applicants, with no claimed programming experience, can make an excel sheet do the fizz buzz thing.
There are multiple possible interpretations:
For some reason your candidates have the neccessary ability. Possibly due to pre-selection, job profile, your area, whatever.
Your excel setup leads itself for easier realization of the FizzBuzz test.
Not having programming experience may actually help here as there is no standard solution where you can get stuck.
