Is there a way to format numbers from decimal into fraction like excel does.

There isn't a way to convert it to useable fractions, but with formulas we can convert them to text values that represent the fraction and we can convert text values that look like fractions into numerical values.

Sorry to revive this. I am also in construction and use fractions a lot. This is what we came up with to convert fractions into decimals in Smartsheet.
This assumes that the fraction is in inches and is written exactly like these examples without the inch (") indicator:
53 1/2
102 33/64
15 13/16
=VALUE(LEFT([WIDTH F]@row, FIND(" ", [WIDTH F]@row) - 1)) + VALUE(MID([WIDTH F]@row, FIND(" ", [WIDTH F]@row) + 1, FIND("/", [WIDTH F]@row) - FIND(" ", [WIDTH F]@row) - 1)) / VALUE(MID([WIDTH F]@row, FIND("/", [WIDTH F]@row) + 1, LEN([WIDTH F]@row) - FIND("/", [WIDTH F]@row)))
