Answer 1

The question isn't exactly clear. If you want to get the sector of the security and you have its CUSIP, you can do this:

=BDP("459200101 CUSIP","INDUSTRY_SECTOR")

or

=BDP("459200101 CUSIP","GICS_SECTOR_NAME")

Depending on whether you want the industry sector or the GICS sector. In this example, 459200101 is IBM's CUSIP.
