Hello Usha,
If you look under Cells/Format/Number the is an option called Fraction that should do what I think you want.

Hello Usha,
If you enter the value as =1/30, it will appear that way in the formula bar and as 1/30 in the cell.
I think that is the best you can do unless you enter it as text.
