Question: How can I output a data frame for a rectangular matrix ?

Hello interested parties!

I wish to measure the distance between points in the Cartesian plane and then export the results to Excel using a data frame routine. For the sake of example: suppose there are 2 points, A and B and 6 more points, a,b,c,d,e and f whose coordinates are known.

I am interested in measuring the distance from A to a, b, c, d, e, f and from B to a, b, c, d, e, f. So, a matrix is constructed (see attached) giving the linear separation between eack of the 8 points ... and that's ok. 

However, instead of six points of interest, suppose that the number of points becomes very large (e.g. 1,000) and I still need to export to Excel.

Does anyone know of an efficient routine that produces a rectangular matrix to produce a 2 x 6 data frame so that, in the case of large-scale problems the data frame is not overburdened?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
