Creating a matrix from one column

Hello,
I have data in one column which has a few thousand rows, from which I would like to create a matrix with the same data in each column, and with the number of columns the same as the number of rows. Later on, I would like to extract it as a csv file. I feel it could be fairly easily to be done but couldn't succeed yet. Thanks in advance for any comments

A = rand(1,1000)'
A = 1000×1
0.3433 0.2117 0.2324 0.9507 0.6145 0.0998 0.8159 0.1063 0.1736 0.4148
M = repmat(A,[1 length(A)])
M = 1000×1000
